Asa, Jazakallah for developing this very beneficial app. May Allah reward your efforts.
I would kindly request that you provide the root meaning next to the root of each word. This would be a tremendous blessing for me and I’m sure others as well as it would provide a deeper understanding of each Quranic word.
Wa Alaikum Assalaam wa Rahmat Allah wa Barakatuh @ismail_cattaneo
Wa iyyak! Jazak Allahu khair for your kind words. We are very grateful and humbled whenever we hear that our brothers and sisters in Islam are benefitting. Alhamdullilah.
There is an entire explanation providing deeper insight into the word meanings as well as broader root concepts.
When you tap on any Arabic word in any Surah and the card shows up, tap on the info at the top right. It’ll take you to a page full of more detailed information. You’ll see what you’re looking for there in sha Allah.
May Allah make this path easy for you, and may He shower you with His mercy and blessings in this life and in the hereafter!
Thank you for your prompt response. I am very familiar with the info card and detailed page; I visit them often because I find it fascinating to learn how the same root meaning is used in different ways in the Quran. This is one of the best aspects of the app. Jazakallah khair for putting this together.
What I meant to ask, and I apologize for not being clear in my initial question, is if you can define the root of each word. For example, when I click on the info card for “nasta’inu,” it defines it as “we ask for help” and provides the root, which is 'ayn/waw/nun. What I am looking for is the root meaning of 'ayn/waw/nun.
I hope my question is clearer now. I appreciate your patience with me.
I’m glad you are familiar, and we are so grateful you are finding this beneficial Alhamdullilah! Wa iyyak! This is so wonderful to hear.
No apologies necessary. I believe you are asking for what is already there. You’re looking for the root meaning of ع-و-ن. Any root meaning involves the following:
The base verb. In your example, it would be عَانَ and its core meaning (he aided, helped, or assisted), and
The broad root concepts that appear in related forms as well as other words belonging to the same root (this can represent several meanings).
The first card (attached below) appears with the root, and the general meaning associated with the root.
Once you tap on info, it takes you to the below page. Here is what you’re asking for. The ‘Explanation’ section here starts with the word in question, followed by the basic root (verb) meaning(s), and finally ends with the root concepts to tie it all up together.
(Sidenote: be aware that the root explanation section represents several word forms that carry the same base meaning. Ex., this para will appear for both نَسْتَعِينُ and اسْتَعِينُوا and other words that belong to the same bucket, yet appear in different forms. When there are several forms, we picked one to use in the explanation. We tried our best to mix it up with the aim of highlighting and focusing in on various different word forms.)
The root meaning is sometimes straightforward and involves one main idea/concept. Other times it
can be very complex and involves various different base meanings (we included as much as possible of what seemed appropriate & meaningful - sometimes it is impossible to include them all). With supplementary information and reflection, there is almost always a deeper connection to all the meanings (although at first glance, they may seem very far apart).
I really hope this makes sense, and that we’re on the same page. If you’re still not clear and I’m not answering your question, please don’t hesitate and let me know. We’ll get to the bottom of this in sha Allah!
Barak Allahu feek, and may Allah bless your path in seeking knowledge.
I was not seeing the options that you shared. Jazakallah for providing them. It made me realize I was using an older version. Once I upgraded I can now see the root meaning detail along with the grammar! Maybe a popup indicating a new version is available would be helpful?
May Allah reward you for your efforts and bless you with good in this life and the next!
So happy to hear that we’ve sorted this, Alhamdullilah!
With this version you’ll get automatic popups whenever there’s an update, in sha Allah. Khair, Subhan Allah, Allah guided you to ask about this, and I hope you feel that you got more than what you were asking for
Jazak Allah khair for your du’aa, Ameen! May Allah shower you with His mercy and blessings in this life and in the hereafter.
