Grammar Rules Derived from the Quran

Rules of Syntax and Morphology Derived from the Qurʾān

“The sound principles of iʿrāb (syntactical inflection) and taṣrīf (morphological derivation) are all derived from it, taken from its own iʿrāb and its own taṣrīf. It stands as the witness to the correctness of every other instance that is adduced in its support; thus it is both the decisive ḥujjah and the reliable witness. The evidences for syntax and for meanings drawn from it are stronger and more accurate than the evidences taken from elsewhere. Indeed, within it are principles of iʿrāb, principles of maʿānī and of bayān that the codified rules of the grammarians and the scholars of ʿilm al-maʿānī have not encompassed.”

Ibn al-Qayyim (d. 751 AH)
