Abstract
This work tackles the use of the first group of the jussive articles (لم-lam, لما- lamma, لا الناهية- prohibition la, and لام الامر- imperative L prefix) in the Holy Quran and their realization in English by consulting the opinion of four translators.
Each Ayah is used to show the effect of a single article on the imperfect verb after it. This effect differs from one verb into another according to the type of this imperfect verb; The “Quiescence” (السكون) if the verb ends with a consonant, the elimination of the end vowel if the verb ends with a vowel and the elimination of N (حذف النون) if the verb is among the Arabic five verbs (الافعال الخمسة).
Each Ayah is analyzed in certain steps: the translation of four translators, the exeges of the certain Ayah, a grammatical analysis according to the opinion of the Arabic grammarians, and an analysis of the four translations adopted in relation to jussive.
