How will you remember the meanings of new words? • With reference to THE FIRST example (meeting) in which you have understood the word. You may have read it before, but without understanding.

19. Example You have learnt إن، إنَّ، إنَّمَا in the 2nd 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.
