● When the muḍāf ilayh is an explicit noun, replace it with the most suitable pronoun according to its gender and number:
○ Zayd's house: بَيْتُ زَيْدٍ -> بَيْتُهُ (Zayd is masculine singular, so ـهُ is used.)
○ The mosque's door: بَابُ الْمَسْجِدِ -> بَابُهُ (الْمَسْجِدُ is masculine singular.)
○ Ḥāmid and Maḥmūd's book: كِتَابُ حَامِدٍ وَمَحْمُودٍ -> كِتَابُهُمَا (dual pronoun).
○ The Muslims' house: بَيْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ -> بَيْتُهُمْ (third-person masculine plural pronoun).
○ Allah's sign: آيَةُ اللهِ -> آيَتُهُ (The tāʾ marbūṭah at the end of آيَةٌ changes to a regular tāʾ when a pronoun attaches.)
