List of Quranic Unique Imperative Verbs (Form I)

According to QAC, there are 19,356 verbs in the Quran. In order to learn the meanings of these verbs easily, I have separated the Verb Form I whose total number is 12,347. Then I divided them into three groups.
Verb Type
Arabic
Number
Perfective Verb
فعل ماضي
5918
Imperfective Verb
فعل مضارع
5248
Imperative Verb
الأمر والنهي
1181
Total
12347


The Imperative Verbs of Form I are 1181 in number, but without repetition they are only 149. If you acquire the meanings of these commands of Allah (SWT), In-Sha-Allah, you will be able to start understanding the Quran as quickly as possible. The imperatives are arranged alphabetically in Arabic so that you can be familiar with different structures of the imperatives. The Frequency is based on Imperatives Verb Form I, not on all verbs.

For Transliteration of Verb Root and Form, please refer to This Page  In the Tag column IMPV stands for Imperative Verb.

  1. How to Read the Arabic: You might have noticed that most of the imperative Verbs do not have vowel sign at the beginning. This is because the imperative verb (Form I) is formed with a Hamza-wasl at the starting of the word. Hamza-wasl signifies that it is not pronounced when it is read with its preceding word or particle. For example in the First imperative mentioned in this list, look what has happened رَبَّنَا وَابْعَثْ (2:129)
    When pronounced separately, the imperatives follow a rule: if the third letter from the beginning contain /a/ or /i/ vowel sign, the Hamza-wasl will take /i/ sound, e.g. اِبْعَثْ
    But if the third letter from the beginning has the /u/ vowel sign, the Hamza-wasl will take /u/ sound, e.g. in the 4th , 5th , 6th instances of this list the Hamza-wasl will take /u/ sound اُتْرُكْ

  3. Very good.
    It will be better also to include Arabic letters under root words, along with transcription of letters
