Supplementary Practice 21: Comparative Rhetorical Study of Sūrat Quraysh and al-Māʿūn
- Read the relative as a disconnected assertion not identifying the Lord
- It identifies the Lord through beneficence and supports the rationale for worship
- Deny any explanatory effect because li-anna does not appear
- Treat alladhī as an independent interrogative
