Iʿrāb of the opening of Āyat al-Kursī

A nominative subject whose predicate is a categorical negation.

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ
اللَّهُNominative subject
لَاCategorical negator
إِلَٰهَNoun of lā
إِلَّاExceptive particle
هُوَPronoun, apposition

We only parse the opening for teaching. Allāhu is the subject; lā ʾilāha is a categorical negation; ʾillā huwa completes the exception.

The new Seebawayh for a full interactive parse is coming in early access.
