Abstract
This
article, titled "Forms of Conjunction with(thumma) and the semantic
Significance in the Sermons of Imam Dr. Umar Muhammad Boyi: A Grammatical
Study," begins with a brief introduction to Imam Dr. Umar Muhammad Boyi
and his pulpit sermons, along with a mention of some of his scholarly works. It
then proceeds to define the concept of conjunction (al-'atf) and its particles
in the Arabic language. The study then moves on to extracting instances of
conjunction with (thumma) in the sermons, analyzing them grammatically while
highlighting their semantic significance within their respective contexts. In
tracing these instances, the researcher relied on the inductive-analytical
method, drawing on both classical and modern grammar texts. Finally, the
researcher concluded that the preacher Dr. Umar Boyi employed the conjunction
particle "thumma" in various positions throughout his sermons, in
accordance with the requirements of authentic Arabic grammatical rules which in
turn imbued these usages with diverse meanings and connotations.
