Recognize the maf'ul lahu through meaning, not through the final fathah alone.
1. Find the verb and the action.
2. Ask why that action occurred.
3. Look for a verbal noun that supplies the reason.
4. Confirm that this reason-word is mansub.
A mansub ending by itself is not enough: maf'ul bihi and maf'ul mutlaq can also be mansub.
