اَلْجُمْلَةُ الْفِعْلِيَّة

Five sentences.
The whole verb.

The five shortest complete verbal sentences in the Qur'an — none longer than three words — chosen so that between them they contain every state an Arabic verb can enter: past, present, command, passive, and jussive.

01 — How the five were found

اَلْمَنْهَج Selection method

A sentence is not a phrase. بِسْمِ اللَّهِ is a phrase — beautiful, but it asserts nothing. A sentence must claim something that can be affirmed or denied. Four filters were applied to the entire text.

It must open with a verb

A جُمْلَة فِعْلِيَّة begins with the فِعْل. Nominal sentences (اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ) were excluded — they teach nouns, not verbs.

It must be مُفِيدَة — self-sufficient

Verb + doer at minimum: the مُسْنَد and مُسْنَد إِلَيْه. Conditional fragments like إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ lean on a following clause and were rejected.

Two or three words

Counted as Arabic counts: prefixed particles (فَ ، الْ ، سَ) and suffixed pronouns (ـنِي ، ـكُمْ) belong to their host word. So فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ = two words.

Maximum teaching yield

Where two candidates tied in length, the winner was the one adding a new grammatical state. The final set covers all three tenses, both voices, and all three moods of the imperfect.

Shortlist

The runners-up

Every one of these is a genuine two-word Qur'anic sentence. They lost only because a chosen verse already taught the same lesson.

The five sentences

Read each one aloud. Then click each word. The ghost words in dashed outline are pronouns that are pronounced by no letter — they live inside the verb itself.

The doer is deleted, the object is promoted: خُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ
