19. Example You have learnt إن، إنَّ، إنَّمَا in the 2 nd lesson, when you came across them FIRST TIME while understanding the text simultaneously. إنْ : إنْ شَاء الله إنَّ : إنَّ اللهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِين إنَّمَا : إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِاالنِّيّات If you forget the examples, you may forget the meanings or confuse between one another.
