[Quranic Reflection]: The universe is expanding

[WinterHold]

I checked more books on this:

Quran syntax

It's more specifically an  "2sm 7al اسم حال-situation/condition noun", connected the "verb "built" ".


I was wrong in this post, the "lam" doesn't turn the word to a verb:

The correct explanation for the syntax is that It's a "situation noun" connected to the verb "built". I believe that makes more sense, this is what the books were saying as I understand.

So it goes like this -as I understand-: "the heavens were built "verb" and their situation/condition is that they are expanded by God"situation/condition noun".


"Mowse3oon" is a "situation noun اسم حال", it describes a state or a "situation": the situation of the heavens are the expansion by God. 
"Khalikoon" must fit into the frame of the sentence's meaning and context; it doesn't fit in this.

I remember doing i3rab back in high school in Lebanon, though wasn't connected to the Qur'an in my case. Fun times ...

Can you tell me which page where the book explains this "ism l7aal"? I don't remember this one, but do remember ism l fa3el and ism l maf3oul and such.

I do remember that, in most cases at least, when we talk about a noun with "oun" at end, it indicates plurality, not ongoing action.

Believe it or not, I hate i3rab. It needs lots of memorizing, but my grades were good in it back in school.
I didn't take "ism al 7al" in school -obviously it seems advanced-, but here is a link that mentions it in the verse discussed:

Quran e3rab

But it says it is just "7al حال", it refers to the whole sentence as "fee ma7al nasb 7al"; you can find it in the bottom of page 268.

Another link says the same that it is just "7al":
