“and those in whose wealth there is a known right,” and the subsequent verses.
And His words:
“Indeed, the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing men and believing women,” and the subsequent verses.
For whoever is truthful and patient but neither submits to Allah nor believes is not among those for whom Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.
Attributes often occur without conjunction, as in His words:
“He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Most Holy, the Source of Peace, the Giver of Security, the Guardian.”
And His words:
“Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
the King of mankind,
the God of mankind.”
They may also occur as successive predicates, as in His words:
“And He is the All-Forgiving, the Most Loving,
Lord of the Throne, the Glorious,
Doer of whatever He wills.”
Were “Doer” an adjectival qualifier, it would be definite. Rather, it is another predicate following the preceding ones.
His words, “He is the First and the Last,” likewise contain successive predicates, but with each attribute joined by a conjunction. The predicates of a subject may occur with or without conjunctions. When conjunctions are used, each name is mentioned independently; without conjunctions, the second in some sense completes the first. With conjunctions, the attributes serve only for praise and commendation, or for praise. Without conjunctions, they serve to distinguish indefinite nouns and may serve to clarify definite nouns.
