In this subject, the role of the ism will be further expanded upon with the multiple roles that an ism mansub plays such as the maf'ool mutlaq, bihi, fihi and lahu. The 'Stories of the Prophets' textbook will be analysed at a more advanced level, specifically focusing on the ism mansub as well as building on new vocabulary, new syntax and complex morphology.
