What is the grammatical analysis (إعراب) of the word of majesty "Allah" in the Almighty's saying: "And were it not for Allah's repelling some men by means of others, cloisters would have been destroyed"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The word "Allah" (اسم الجلالة) in the verse is grammatically analyzed as a genitive construction (مضاف إليه) for "dafʿ" ( دفع - averting/repelling). Originally, it is the doer (فاعل) of the verbal noun (مصدر) which functions like a verb: it either raises a doer (فاعل), takes an object (مفعول به), or is appended to one of them. Linguists have stated that the doer can be put in the genitive case by the verbal noun being appended to it, and they have cited this verse as an example.
