Many times, in Quran, we find..
the word; [Itha] in the same verse with [I'nn]..
And, in this noble verse..
Allah used the word; [Itha=when, if ]
He said:
"And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?" 92:11
Why didn't He use the word; [I'nn= when, if]
and both words have a meaning of uncertainty.
This point of uncertainty..
needs to be explained
Yes, it is a long subject.
The word; [Itha]..
in Arabic language...
as said by Grammar experts..
and people of rhetoric..
The word; [Itha]..
is used for..
A thing that is definitely occurring..
and that is frequently occurring.
A thing that is definitely occurring..
Okay.
and that is frequently occurring.
"When[Itha] the victory of Allah has come and the conquest," 110:1
This is an example of; The definitely occurring..
".. when [Itha] death approaches [any] one of you.. " 2:180
And, definitely, death will approach us.
True.
"And [had you been present], you would see the sun when[Itha] it rose.. " 18:17
and definitely the sun will rise.
".. and when[Itha] it set.. " and definitely the sun will set.
These are things that will definitely occur..
"And when[Itha] the sacred months have passed.. " 9:5
and definitely they will pass.
"And when[Itha] the prayer has been concluded.. " 62:10
and, the prayer will be concluded.
Or, things that are frequently occurring.
"And when[Itha] you are greeted with a greeting,.. " 4:86
Also..
when we have both words, in one verse..[I'nn] and [Itha]
[Itha] will be for; the frequently occurring thing..
and [I'nn] will be used for the rarely occurring thing.
".. when [Itha]you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces.. " 5:6
".. And if [I'nn] you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves.. "
because, it is less frequently a person will be in a state of janabah, everytime he rise for Salat.
"And if [I'nn]you are astonished, [O Muhammad] - then astonishing is their saying.. " 13:5
".. "When [Itha] we are dust.. :
to be astonished is a less frequent thing to happen.
But, being dust, all of them will be dust.
And, He used; [Itha] here.. True.
".. But once[Itha] they are sheltered in marriage.. "4:25
".. if [I'nn] they should commit adultery.. "
all women get married..
True.
But, then committing adultery is rare.
This is the usage of the two words, in the same verse.
[Itha] was mentioned so frequently in Quran..
I think, in 362 sites..
I think this is the right number..
Yet, it was never used when the subject is unlikely.
not even once.
Never, totally.
It is used only with things that were definitely occurring..
or frequently occurring..
So..
Whenever the subject was about Resurrection Day..
[Itha] was the right word to be used.
"When[Itha] the sky breaks apart." 82:1
"When[Itha] the sun is wrapped up [in darkness]." 81:1
"And when[Itha] the [contents of] graves are scattered." 82:4
And the experts of Grammar say; It is not right to use..
[I'nn] here..
Because these events will definitely occur.
So, [I'nn] is used in cases that might happen..
and with..
probable things..
or we have doubts about it.. or rare.. or impossible to happen.
impossible to happen, it is hypothetical.
For example, in the verse, Allah said:
"Say, "Have you considered: if [I'nn] Allah should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection.. " 28:72
He used the word[I'nn]..
It is a possibility..
It is not a fact.. in reality..
in our life.
"And if[I'nn] they were to see a fragment from the sky falling, they would say, "[It is merely] clouds heaped up.". " 52:44
No one saw that.. did it happen?
It didn't happen.
This was a suggestion only.
Excuse me, this will also explain the saying of Allah, Almighty;
"And if [I'nn]two factions among the believers should fight.. " 49:9
this is a probability..
It is possible that it won't happen.. the rule is not to happen..
It shouldn't happen.
"but look at the mountain.. " 7:143
".. if [I'nn] it should remain in place. "
and it didn't.
This is how; [I'nn] is used..
with incidents that are unlikely to occur..
when things are hypothetical.
which do not exist in reality..
basically.
"Say, "Have you considered: if [I'nn] Allah should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection.. " 28:72
This is a suggestion, it is not seen in reality.
a hypothetical situation.
Have you considered if [I'nn] so and so.. it is hypothetical.
"And what will his wealth avail him when[Itha] he falls[Tarada]?
every person will reach an end, when he [Tarada].
What does the word; [Tarada] mean?
It might mean; Death.
this is a fall[Tarada].
or to fall in the groove of the grave.
or to fall in the Fire.
Yes.
All these are falling[Tarada].
With all these, He used; [Itha].
[Tarada] is from [Al-Rada] which means death.
Yes.
or to fall in the cavity of the grave.
[Tarada] inside it.. to fall..
any kind of falling..
even in the Fire..
Then, what will his wealth avail him?
And this will occur, it is not hypothetical.
[Itha] [Tarada].. when he falls.
So, He didn't ues [I'nn] here!
Of course.
to inform us that this will occur definitely.
Actually, it is continuously occurring, every moment..
It will occur, and no escape from it.
what will his wealth avail him?
Allah, didn't use; [I'nn] because it is for hypothetical situations..
He used; [Itha], because this will certainly occur.
and what will your wealth avail you?
This is a very strong motivation for people..
not to prevent giving others..
and not to be a cause of difficulty for others..
Prompting people to give..
because, this falling will definitely occur.
So, why is he withholding?
Why is he making it difficult for others?
Why does he consider himself free of need?
Why the transgression?
And the falling will occur.
Yes.
