What are the general and specific terms mentioned in Surat Al-Furqan, along with the reason for each term being general or specific?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The words of generality and specificity in Surat Al-Furqan are numerous. Examples include:
- "Al-Alamin" (the worlds) in His Almighty’s saying: (that he may be to the worlds a warner) [25:1] signifies generality.
- The word "shareek" (partner) in His Almighty’s saying: (and He has no partner in the dominion) [25:2] is an indefinite noun in the context of negation, thus it encompasses every partner.
- The majestic word "Allah" and His name "Ar-Rahman" are words of specificity.
