The study aimed to examine the concept of grammatical causation (al-‘illa al-nahwiyya) in the thought of Lakdah Al-Isfahani through his book Al-‘Ilal fi Al-Nahw, analyzing his approach to grammatical reasoning and comparing it with the approaches of other grammarians. It also sought to classify the types and functions of grammatical causes and reveal their role in constructing grammatical rules and explaining linguistic phenomena.

In conclusion, the study highlighted the scholarly significance of the book Al-‘Ilal fi Al-Nahw as an important source in the Arabic grammatical heritage. It also contributed to clarifying Al-Isfahani’s methodological approach to grammatical causation and demonstrating his role in establishing and interpreting grammatical rules according to a scientific perspective based on induction and analysis.
