Verse (35:18), Word 29 - Quranic Grammar

__

The 29th word of verse (35:18) is divided into 3 morphological segments. A resumption particle, accusative particle and preventive particle. The connective particle fa is usually translated as "then" or "so" and is used to indicate a sequence of events. The accusative particle belongs to a special group of words known as inna and her sisters (ان واخواتها). The preventive particle stops inna from taking its normal role in the sentence. Together the segments are known as kāfa wa makfūfa (كافة ومكفوفة).

Chapter (35) sūrat fāṭir (The Originator)

Verse (35:18)

The analysis above refers to the eighteenth verse of chapter 35 (sūrat fāṭir):

Sahih International: And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. And if a heavily laden soul calls [another] to [carry some of] its load, nothing of it will be carried, even if he should be a close relative. You can only warn those who fear their Lord unseen and have established prayer. And whoever purifies himself only purifies himself for [the benefit of] his soul. And to Allah is the [final] destination.
