Verse (6:136), Word 2 - Quranic Grammar

__

The second word of verse (6:136) is divided into 2 morphological segments. A preposition and proper noun. The prefixed preposition lām is usually translated as "for". The proper noun is in the genitive case (مجرور). The proper noun's triliteral root is hamza lām hā (أ ل ه). Together the segments form a preposition phrase known as jār wa majrūr (جار ومجرور).

Chapter (6) sūrat l-anʿām (The Cattle)

Verse (6:136)

The analysis above refers to the 136th verse of chapter 6 (sūrat l-anʿām):

Sahih International: And the polytheists assign to Allah from that which He created of crops and livestock a share and say, "This is for Allah ," by their claim, " and this is for our partners [associated with Him]." But what is for their "partners" does not reach Allah , while what is for Allah - this reaches their "partners." Evil is that which they rule.
