Definition of article:- An article is a limiting word not descriptive(bayanea, Suratnuma, mushara) which cannot be used alone, but always joins to a subtantive(ism, ismi zaat, naam) word to denote(batana) a particular, or a group of class of things, or any individual of group or class. There are two lines of articles.
definite articles and indefinite articles.
1. "The" is the definite article, since it points out a particular individual, or group, or class.
e.g. The Quran is perfect of all the books.
There are lot of books but Quran is perfect of all, means that this book has been choosen from different books. Word Quran is particular book, so we used the word "The" and the word "books" is the group from which Quran has been taken.
2. Indefinite article :- "An" or "A" is indefinite article because it refers to any one of group or class of things.
They both "an " as well as "a " are different forms of same word.
Origin of there articles.
