Islamischen

Islamischen is the inflected form of the German adjective islamisch, meaning related to Islam or Islamic. It is used to describe nouns that pertain to the Islamic faith, its culture, law, or institutions. In German orthography, adjective endings reflect case, number, gender, and whether a determiner is present. The form islamischen appears in several common patterns, such as after definite articles or in plural and in certain case endings.

Etymology and background: The adjective islamisch derives from Islam, the religious tradition. It has been part of German vocabulary since the modern period in references to Islamic art, law, theology, and practice. Like other adjectives, its form changes according to standard declension rules.

Usage and examples: After a definite article, the weak ending yields forms like der islamische Staat (nominative masculine singular) and des islamischen Staates (genitive masculine singular). In the plural, die islamischen Staaten (nominative plural) is typical. With feminine nouns in genitive or dative, one often finds der islamischen Kirche or mit der islamischen Kunst. In the neuter singular, das islamische Recht uses the ending -e for the definite article pattern. Without a determiner, the plural form is islamische Staaten, and the singular indefinite form is ein islamischer Staat.

Notes: Capitalization in normal German writing does not alter the adjective; islamisch is lowercase unless it starts a sentence or appears in a title. The form islamischen is one possible inflection among others and reflects standard German grammar rather than a separate concept. See also Islam, Islamic studies, German declension.
