Generalizing the rule according to Ibn Taymiyyah in the chapter on the subject, predicates, and their similars

Abstract

Scholars' efforts to simplify Arabic grammar rules have persisted over time. This is also true for Ibn Taymiyyah, a notable expert in the field of Islamic theology. This research aims to apply the rule generalization" method to explain one of the important aspects of Arabic syntax, namely Mubtada’ and Khabar, and their modifiers. The methodology used in this research is the descriptive rule based approach, which involves collecting necessary information from primary sources, extracting it, and presenting it in the proposed results. Among the result reached by this research is that the ‘amil is united in what the meaning is united in, and one ‘amil work in what the meaning is united in. The ‘amil of na’at is the ‘amil of man’ut itself, and the ‘amil of haal is the one that acts on shaahib haal, and likewise, the predicate ‘amil of khabar is the same ‘amil of mubtada, and with this, the rule will be easily memorized and understood by students. The anticipated contribution of this research is to facilitate students' comprehension of the Mubtada’, Khabar, and their modifiers in the simplest ways possible. Additionally, this research aims to contribute to the development of methods for teaching Arabic grammar rules in general.
