(And establish prayer)

Root قومto stand, establish; people, nation; straightness, uprightness · 660 times in the Quran

Root صلوto pray, to bless; prayer, blessing · 99 times in the Quran

Grammar — lesson evidence

وَأَقِيمُوا۟word 1

Conjunction · حرف عطفA conjunction is a small joining word like 'and' that ties one command to another. The prefix وَ joins the command to establish prayer onto the charges before it. L4 · R4

Verb · فعلA verb is a word for an action tied to a time. أَقِيمُ names an action — establishing, making stand — from the root قوم: to stand, establish; straightness, uprightness. L1 · R7

Imperative Verb · فعل أمرAn imperative verb is a direct command addressed to 'you'. أَقِيمُوا۟ is that command form, telling a group 'establish!' — the ending وا۟ pointing the order at 'you all'. L10 · R1

Weak Verb · فعل معتلA weak verb is one whose root contains the weak letter و or ي — letters that love to change shape or vanish. The root of أَقِيمُ is قوم: its weak middle و has softened into the long ي of ـقِيمُ in this shape. L24 · R2

Form IV Verb · أَفْعَلَA Form IV verb is identified by a hamza added to the front of the root letters, usually giving a causing sense. أَقِيمُوا۟ opens with exactly that added hamza أَ before its root قوم (to stand): to CAUSE the prayer to stand — to perform it, as the translation says: 'establish'. L12 · R5

Attached Pronoun · ضمير متصلAn attached pronoun is a mini-word glued onto the end of a verb. The ending وا۟ on وَأَقِيمُوا۟ is such a suffix, standing for 'you all'. L3 · R7

Doer (Fa'il) · فاعلThe doer is the one performing the action, so it stands in the nominative — the doer's form, usually shown by a ḍammah ـُ, a small curl above the last letter. The ending وا۟ on وَأَقِيمُوا۟ is that doer, 'you all'; on this attached pronoun the shape is fixed, so no ḍammah appears, but the role it fills is the nominative one. L9 · R4

ٱلصَّلَوٰةَword 2

Definite Article · أل التعريفThe definite article is the prefix ٱل ('the') fixed to the front of a naming word. Here the ص is one of the fourteen 'solar' letters — letters made near where the ل itself is made, which swallow the ل of ٱل so it is written but not heard — so the ص doubles, shown by the shaddah ـّ, the small w-shaped doubling mark above it. L2 · R9

Noun · اسمA word that accepts the prefix ٱل ('the') is a noun — a naming word. This word carries that prefix and names the prayer, from the root صلو, to pray, to bless. L1 · R1

Feminine Noun · اسم مؤنثA feminine noun is a naming word Arabic treats as 'she', typically marked by a ة at its end. ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ends in exactly that ة: the prayer is a 'she'-word. L2 · R1

Accusative · منصوبThe accusative is the ending a naming word takes when the action lands on it, shown by a fathah ـَ — a small slanted stroke above the last letter. ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ends in that fathah ـَ on its ة. L2 · R11

Direct Object · مفعول بهThe direct object is the thing the action lands on, standing in the accusative — the landed-on form, shown here by the fathah ـَ on the ة. The prayer is what the establishing must land on. L9 · R3

Significance — from the tafsir

Muqatil said Allah's statement to the People of the Book 'And perform As-Salah' commands them to perform the prayer behind the Prophet ﷺ.

Ibn Kathir (abridged), on 2:43

وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ

(…and give zakāh)

Root اتيto come, bring, give · 549 times in the Quran

Root زكوwas clean · 59 times in the Quran

Grammar — lesson evidence

وَءَاتُوا۟word 3

Conjunction · حرف عطفA conjunction is a small joining word like 'and' that ties one command to another. The prefix وَ joins the giving of zakāh onto the establishing of prayer. L4 · R4

Verb · فعلA verb is a word for an action tied to a time. ءَاتُ names an action — giving — from the root اتي, to come, bring, give. L1 · R7

Imperative Verb · فعل أمرAn imperative verb is a direct command addressed to 'you'. ءَاتُوا۟ is that command form, telling a group 'give!' — the ending وا۟ pointing the order at 'you all'. L10 · R1

Weak Verb · فعل معتلA weak verb is one whose root contains the weak letter و or ي — letters that love to vanish. The root of ءَاتُ is اتي: its final weak ي has dropped away in this command shape. L24 · R2

Hamzated Verb · فعل مهموزA hamzated verb has a hamza (ء) as one of its root letters, and the hamza keeps changing its written seat, which can disguise the root. The root اتي begins with a hamza; in ءَاتُوا۟ it hides inside the long-ā opening ءَا. L24 · R11

Form IV Verb · أَفْعَلَA Form IV verb is identified by a hamza added to the front of the root letters. In ءَاتُوا۟ that added hamza and the root's own first-letter hamza have melted together into the long-ā opening ءَا, so no separate prefix letter shows — the fused opening is itself the form's mark: to hand over, give. L12 · R5

Attached Pronoun · ضمير متصلAn attached pronoun is a mini-word glued onto the end of a verb. The ending وا۟ on وَءَاتُوا۟ is such a suffix, standing for 'you all'. L3 · R7

Doer (Fa'il) · فاعلThe doer is the one performing the action, so it stands in the nominative — the doer's form, usually shown by a ḍammah ـُ, a small curl above the last letter. The ending وا۟ on وَءَاتُوا۟ is that doer, 'you all'; on this attached pronoun the shape is fixed, so no ḍammah appears, but the role it fills is the nominative one. L9 · R4

ٱلزَّكَوٰةَword 4

Definite Article · أل التعريفThe definite article is the prefix ٱل ('the') fixed to the front of a naming word. Here the ز is one of the fourteen 'solar' letters — letters made near where the ل itself is made, which swallow the ل of ٱل so it is written but not heard — so the ز doubles, shown by the shaddah ـّ, the small w-shaped doubling mark above it. L2 · R9

Noun · اسمA word that accepts the prefix ٱل ('the') is a noun — a naming word. This word carries that prefix and names the zakāh — the purifying alms — from the root زكو, to be clean. L1 · R1

Feminine Noun · اسم مؤنثA feminine noun is a naming word Arabic treats as 'she', typically marked by a ة at its end. ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ends in exactly that ة: zakāh is a 'she'-word. L2 · R1

Accusative · منصوبThe accusative is the ending a naming word takes when the action lands on it, shown by a fathah ـَ — a small slanted stroke above the last letter. ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ends in that fathah ـَ on its ة. L2 · R11

Direct Object · مفعول بهThe direct object is the thing the action lands on, standing in the accusative — the landed-on form, shown here by the fathah ـَ on the ة. The zakāh is what the giving must land on. L9 · R3

Significance — from the tafsir

Muqatil said 'and give Zakah' commands them to pay the Zakah to the Prophet ﷺ.

Ibn Kathir (abridged), on 2:43

وَٱرْكَعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ

(…and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].)

Root ركعto bow down in prayer, bowing · 13 times in the Quran

Grammar — lesson evidence

وَٱرْكَعُوا۟word 5

Conjunction · حرف عطفA conjunction is a small joining word like 'and' that ties one command to another. The prefix وَ joins the bowing onto the giving of zakāh. L4 · R4

Verb · فعلA verb is a word for an action tied to a time. ٱرْكَعُ names an action — bowing — from the root ركع, to bow down in prayer. L1 · R7

Imperative Verb · فعل أمرAn imperative verb is a direct command addressed to 'you', formed from the present-tense verb by removing its prefix and adding a helping ٱ when what remains starts with a vowelless letter. ٱرْكَعُوا۟ shows that helping ٱ, commanding a group: 'bow!' — the ending وا۟ pointing the order at 'you all'. L10 · R1

Attached Pronoun · ضمير متصلAn attached pronoun is a mini-word glued onto the end of a verb. The ending وا۟ on وَٱرْكَعُوا۟ is such a suffix, standing for 'you all'. L3 · R7

Doer (Fa'il) · فاعلThe doer is the one performing the action, so it stands in the nominative — the doer's form, usually shown by a ḍammah ـُ, a small curl above the last letter. The ending وا۟ on وَٱرْكَعُوا۟ is that doer, 'you all'; on this attached pronoun the shape is fixed, so no ḍammah appears, but the role it fills is the nominative one. L9 · R4

مَعَword 6

Particle · حرفA particle is a small helper word with no meaning standing alone; it takes no ending and does not name or act. مَعَ 'with' is such a helper word here. L1 · R8

Preposition · حرف جرA preposition is a little word that relates one thing to another and pulls the naming word right after it into the genitive — the after-preposition ending, usually a kasrah ـِ, a small stroke below the last letter. مَعَ means 'with': bow 'with those who bow'. L4 · R1

ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَword 7

Definite Article · أل التعريفThe definite article is the prefix ٱل ('the') fixed to the front of a naming word. Here the ر is one of the fourteen 'solar' letters — letters made near where the ل itself is made, which swallow the ل of ٱل so it is written but not heard — so the ر doubles, shown by the shaddah ـّ, the small w-shaped doubling mark above it. L2 · R9

Noun · اسمA word that accepts the prefix ٱل ('the') is a noun — a naming word. This word carries that prefix and names those who bow, from the root ركع, to bow down in prayer. L1 · R1

Masculine Noun · اسم مذكرArabic treats every naming word as grammatically 'he' or 'she'. This word carries no feminine marker such as a ة at its end, so it falls to the default and is treated as 'he': a masculine noun. L2 · R3

Plural Noun · جمعA plural noun refers to three or more. The sound masculine plural carries its role in its ending — ـُونَ for the nominative (the 'subject form', with the ḍammah ـُ sound), ـِينَ for the accusative and genitive (the 'object' and 'of' forms); ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ ends in exactly that ـِينَ: the many who bow. L2 · R6

Genitive · مجرورThe genitive is the ending a naming word takes after a preposition, usually a kasrah ـِ — a small slanted stroke below the last letter. For this kind of plural the genitive shows itself instead as the ending ـِينَ, which ٱلرَّٰكِعِينَ carries because مَعَ stands before it. L2 · R12

Active Participle · اسم فاعلAn active participle is a naming word built from a verb's root on the pattern فَاعِل to name the doer of the action. رَٰكِع is built on that pattern from the root ركع (to bow down in prayer): one who bows. L11 · R1

Significance — from the tafsir

'And bow down along with Ar-Raki'in' means: be with, and among, the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ — among the believers performing the best deeds they perform, foremost the prayer. Many scholars said this Ayah is proof for the obligation of performing the prayer in congregation.

Ibn Kathir (abridged), on 2:43

So far: And establish prayer and give zakāh and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].
