| Open Access | THE ISSUE OF RAF IN ARABIC: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SUBJECT (MUBTADA) AND PREDICATE (KHABAR) IN A NOMINAL SENTENCE
Nurmuhammad Matkarimov , Master’s student at the Oriental University, a staff member at the Imam Bukhari International Research Center, and a teacher at the School of Hadith Studies.Abstract
This article explores the issue of raf (nominative case) in Arabic grammar, focusing on the interaction between the subject (mubtada) and the predicate (khabar) in nominal sentences. It presents the divergent perspectives of the Kufans and Basrans on how raf is governed. While the Kufans argue for a mutual influence between the subject and predicate, the Basrans assert that raf is primarily governed by the subject’s position (ibtida). The study examines Quranic examples and theoretical arguments to highlight the complexities of Arabic grammar. This discussion not only enriches historical grammar theory but also provides insights for modern linguistic analysis and Arabic language education.
