The Ism in Arabic is unlike the noun in English. It’s scope includes names of persons, places, things, ideas, adjectives, adverbs & more. Nouns do not include adjectives and adverbs and certainly don’t incorporate anything more than persons, places, things or ideas.

All of you that took the original grammar course ARA 201 remember STATUS, NUMBER, GENDER & TYPE as the four main properties of the Ism. Refer to the cheat sheet uploaded along with this post to refresh your memory. The follow up studies at bayyinah.webex.com start with refresher sessions of the 4 properties. I recommend you view the videos, work on the drills and post your questions concerning ISMS here.
