 ===Suffixes of possession===
 Words like "her", "my", "their" in Arabic are suffixed to the word. For example the suffix ''-him'' (هم) means "their". So ''kufrihim'' (كُفْرِهِمْ) is "their disbelief". The word بِإِيمَٰنِهِنَّ (bi-imaa'''ni'''hinna, "of their faith") is genitive, because the root letter is in the middle and the ''-hinna'' is just a suffix meaning (feminine) "their". This word ended on ''-na'', but it had ''-ni-'' in the middle (the root letter) and it is genitive, so don't just look at the last letter of the word to determine whether it is genitive.
-===Reality===
-The genitive form is actually not needed here to be recognized. In fact, we will see that apologists didn't exclude the genitive form for this word count. They excluded the words with the suffixes like "their", "her" and "his" and they just call them "genitive".
