Better than

Khayr is "good" and, when it compares with min, "better".

لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

3. Malam kemuliaan itu lebih baik daripada seribu bulan.

Indonesian Translation - Sabiq Company · QuranEnc.com · version 1.1.3
Al-Qur’an 97:3

Khayrun is the third word of this verse, and min is the fourth: khayrun min, "better than". The corpus marks khayr masculine singular and nominative, with tanwīn, and marks laylah, the noun it is said of, feminine: compared with min, it stays masculine singular.

Kalimat yang ditulis untuk latihan
هٰذَا الْبَيْتُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذٰلِكَ

This house is better than that one.

This sentence was written for practice. Hādhā l-baytu khayrun min dhālika: "this house", then "better than", then "that one".

A pattern for more

The usual word of comparison is built on a pattern with a- in front of the root: a before the first letter, and a between the last two. From the root k-th-r, of kathīr in lesson 21, comes akthar: "more" and "most".

أَكْثَرُهُمْ
Bagian-bagiannya
  1. أَكْثَرُmore, most
  2. هُمْthey (as the doer of a verb); them, their
Al-Qur’an 49:4

Aktharuhum is akthar and hum: "most of them". The corpus marks it masculine singular, nominative. Before min, akthar is "more"; with a pronoun joined to it, as here, it is "most", and no min follows.

A word read in the verses

أَحَدٌ
Bagian-bagiannya
  1. أَحَدٌ
Al-Qur’an 90:7

Aḥadun: the corpus marks it indefinite, nominative. Lam, from lesson 4, is two words before it in the verse.

Like, as a noun

Lesson 10 taught ka-, "like", joined to the front of a word. Mithl says the same as a noun of its own, and joins what follows as an iḍāfah or takes a pronoun.

مِثْلُهَا
Bagian-bagiannya
  1. مِثْلُlike, the like of
  2. هَاher; it, its (for a word that is feminine)
Al-Qur’an 89:8

Mithluhā is mithlu and hā, "it" or "her". The corpus marks mithl masculine, nominative.

Mathal is another noun from the same root, m-th-l: "a likeness" or "an example".

مَثَلُ
Bagian-bagiannya
  1. مَثَلُlikeness, example
Al-Qur’an 62:5

Mathalu: the corpus marks it nominative. It has no tanwīn, because it is the first noun of an iḍāfah.

Three nouns

ʿAmal, "deed" or "work", is the noun of ʿamila from lesson 7.

أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ
Bagian-bagiannya
  1. أَعْمَٰلَdeed, work
  2. هُمْthey (as the doer of a verb); them, their
Al-Qur’an 99:6

Aʿmālahum is aʿmāla and hum: the corpus gives it the lemma ʿamal, and marks it masculine plural, accusative. It is a broken plural.

أَجْرٌ
Bagian-bagiannya
  1. أَجْرٌwage, reward
Al-Qur’an 95:6

Ajrun, indefinite and nominative.

فَضْلُ
Bagian-bagiannya
  1. فَضْلُ
Al-Qur’an 62:4

Faḍlu, nominative, with no tanwīn: it is the first noun of an iḍāfah.
