Ilm un Nahw is the science that teaches us how to join nouns, verbs, and particles to form complete sentences, and what the vowel on the last letter of each word should be. This science started in the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab RA, when a Bedouin read part of Ayah 3 of Surah At-Tawbah, ﴿أَنَّ اللَّهَ بَرِيءٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ﴾, with a kasrah at the end, as in رَسُولِهِ, instead of a dammah, as in رَسُولُهُ. This changed the meaning from “that Allah and His Messenger are free from obligations to the polytheists” to “that Allah is free from obligations to the polytheists and to His Messenger.” The Bedouin said that if Allah is free from His Messenger, so is he. After this incident, Umar RA ordered that the rules of Nahw be set down.
