اذ and لما mean "when"
لما is used to show the sequence of the actions.
examples
إذ قال ربك للملائكة =حين قال ربك للملائكة=when your God said to the angels
لما تنتهى من المذاكرة سنذهب للمسرح=when you finish your study we shall go to the theater.
لو , ان and اذا mean "if"
to know the difference between اذا and لو
before the examination you can say
إذا ذاكرت ستنجح
after the examination you can say
لو ذاكرت لنجحت
إن is simillar to إذا but we used إن in the
case of unexpected or impossible action
you can say
إن نجحت سأعطيك مليون دولار (in case of unexpected success)
or you can say
إن ذهبت إلى الشمس ستحترق

just a quick question.... on of many....
isn't the word اذا translated as "when" i see you have it there as "if"
eg.
izaa jaa - a - nasrullahi wal fath...
I'm a bit confused

No you are not wrong
I refer to many translations,and I found that all translate "إذا"as "when".
some words (like إذ and لما)are used to define the time,I think it should be translated as "when".
some words (like لو and ان )are used to join two sentences,the first one is necessary for occuring
the second.I think it should be translated as"if".
"إذا"is used to define the time (in the future),and at the same time to join two sentences,the first
one is necessary for occuring the second.I thought that it should be translated as"if",but i was wrong.
I apology for this mistake.
Thank you .

Ok thanx alot rock...
This thread is going just as i intended, I want everything we can think about to come up on this thread so that if someone were to read it in the future they would be quite fulfilled....
so if you have any more to add that I have not asked then please do.
but to proceed....
so we agree that اذا means When... but what's the difference from theother mentioned ones???

We use "إذ" when we talk about some thing already happened in the past.
We use "لما" when we talk about two actions already happened in the past and one of them followed the other.
We use "إذا" when we talk about two actions in the future and one of them is necessary for occuring the other.
I hope I am right.
