	Maqbool Ahmad 20th July, 2015 (68:33:1) In كَذَٰلِكَ الْعَذَابُ. The الْعَذَابُ is shown khabar of كَذَٰلِكَ. I thought جار ومجرور can not be Mubtda. Is كَذَٰلِكَ mubtda?
	Abdul Rahman 12th September, 2015 If كَذَٰلِكَ is seen as جار ومجرور (preposition + pronoun) then it can only be khabar and not mubtada'. The mubtada' in this case would be الْعَذَابُ delayed. The arrow on the dependency graph should be turned the other way.
