Words written separately and joined
(Part six)
We conclude explaining the words
that are written joined or separated in the Glorious Qur'an.
The other previous lessons on this subject are located in the tajweed tidbit
archives.
It established that there are only
two places in the Qur’an where these two words are written next to each other,
and they are written in these two places
:
Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree said:
The verb now has changed to
so we know that Imam Al-Jazaree is now
referring to separating the two words.
These two words are written
(separately)
two places in the Qur’an, and written
all other places.
Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree said the following
about these two words: 
Since the last verb is
we understand that Imam Al-Jazaree is
still referring to separation of the two words.
The laam of the
clause "maa li" and the noun it affects
The letter
following the questioning "
"
is written separated from the noun that it affects (the noun that comes
immediately after the
),
in four places in the Glorious Qur’an, and written joined with the noun it
affects in all other places.
Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree, may Allah have mercy
upon him, said
The 
of the
word 
is written separated from the word
,
There is one place in the Qur’an where these two words meet, and as discussed
are written . Some had claimed that the
was connected to the word
, but Imam Al-Jazaree here refutes this
totally, using the word 
, meaning wrong.
Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree said:
These two sets of words and possessives
usually have the separating alif after the plural
, but in surah Al-Mutaffifeen
aayah 4 there, they are written without the separating alif and therefore
considered
. The word 
means join.
This is what Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree was
referring to in his statement:
All of these letters cannot be
separated from what follows them when reciting the Qur’an, or in the writing
of the Qur’an. The noun which follows the definite article
"
"
is not separated in writing or in reading. Likewise, the nouns that follow
"
"
of notification, and
"
"
for calling are joined with the following word in writing and in recitation.
This is what Imam Ibn Al-Jazaree was indicating when he said:
The words
mean do not separate. So we can not
stop on any of these, separating them from the noun that follows.
