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).

Verse (29:17)

The analysis above refers to the seventeenth verse of chapter 29 (sūrat l-ʿankabūt):
