Lesson

1. Bab If'eelaal

Bab If'eelaal is the fifth derived triliteral door in this section that begins with Hamzat-ul-Wasl.
Its active past pattern is اِفْعَالَّ.
The example in this level is اِدْهَامَّ, and its verbal noun is اِدْهِيْمَامٌ.

2. Root and Added Structure

The original root letters of اِدْهَامَّ are د، ه، م.
This Bab has three visible structural features:
1. Hamzat-ul-Wasl at the beginning.
2. An added Alif after the second root letter.
3. The final root letter is doubled and written with Shaddah.

3. Masdar and Meaning

The verbal noun is اِدْهِيْمَامٌ.
Its meaning in this level is to become intensely black or very dark.
So اِدْهَامَّ describes becoming intensely dark.

4. Complete Sarf-e-Sagheer

Recite the complete Sarf-e-Sagheer together:
اِدْهَامَّ يَدْهَامُّ اِدْهِيْمَامًا فَهُوَ مُدْهَامٌّ الأَمْرُ مِنْهُ اِدْهَامَّ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنْهُ لَا تَدْهَامَّ
This displayed paradigm contains active past, active Mudhaari', Masdar, Ism Fa'il, imperative, and prohibitive.
Passive forms and Ism Maf'ool are not included in the paradigm shown in this level.
