● The grammatical-case rule for feminine nouns and non-rational things with sound plurals ending in alif and tāʾ is:
○ nominative: ends in ـَاتٌ (ātun: tanwīn with ḍammah), as in مُسْلِمَاتٌ (many Muslim women).
○ accusative and genitive: end in ـَاتٍ (ātin: tanwīn with kasrah), as in مُسْلِمَاتٍ.
● Important rule: The accusative feminine sound plural does not take fatḥah; it takes kasrah. Thus, both the accusative and genitive are read مُسْلِمَاتٍ.
