@Umbreen, dunya ends with alif, and alif has sukoon on it — it cannot take anything else. So it doesn’t appear differently when preceeded by fee, even if it is really majroor. Allahu a’lam.

Wa’alikum as-salaam,

I’m sure ma’a is a preposition–it’s in one of my books to learn Arabic. Can you ask your teacher what ma’a is, if it isn’t a preposition, and post it as a comment insha’allah?

As-salam-u-alaikum
I’ve never read “ma’a” as part of prepositions. Can you please check?
My teacher told me that prepositions are 17 in total (as summarized in this stanza):
باو تاو كافو لامو واو منذ مذ خلا
رُبّ حاشا من عدا فى عن علٰى حتّٰى الٰى

Also, إِلَ and حَتَّ in the list of prepositions should be إِلَى and حَتَّى respectively. Then there is also (baytikum) and (baytika). I think the latter one must be like the former.

Assalamu ‘alaykum

I think “هروف الجر” must be “حروف الجر” with a ح at the beginning, and “الكتاب على مَمْتب” must be “الكتاب على الْمَكتب” . Otherwise, a very useful post, masha Allah.
