Original Video: https://youtu.be/9h7zsEr-mms?si=mTFDYn3pUu5myjMy The reason change in the vowel signs changes the meaning of the Ayah is because, in Arabic there are five verb forms, each addressing a different person. ذهبَ He went ذهبتُ I went ذهبتَ You (addressing a man) went ذهبتِ You (addressing a woman) went ذهبَتْ She went (notice, the last form mentioned here is different to the example of the mistake given by the Shaykh for mistakes that don't change the meaning, since here, the vowel sign on Ba changes as well, whereas in his example, the word stayed the same except the person did not recite the vowel sign on the final letter which won't change the meaning, so if one were to say An'amat انعَمَت and not An'amt, it would change the meaning and would invalidate the Salah) Unlike English, Arabic bifurcates between man and woman with respect to the second person pronoun (you). Which is why, if one was to recite صرات الذين انعمتِ عليهم The meaning would change to, The Way of those on whom You (a female) have bestowed Your Grace. The bestower would change to be a female instead of Allah. Similarly, if one was to recite it with a Dammah صرات الذين أنعمتُ عليهم The meaning would change, with the speaker himself being the bestower. (i.e. The Way of those upon whom I have bestowed my grace) والله أعلم
