Arabic Case Theory Project - Unfunded or Self-Funded Option - Progress Tracker + Quran Defense Project 2

For funded and fast paced progress on : Arabic Case Theory Project : visit the following link and contribute if you are interested:
Arabic Case Theory Project - Nahw - Raf' Nasb Jarr Jazm رفع نصب جرّ جزم as the Next Level of Arabic Patterns Research

In case no funding is received, slow self funded option is also being initiated today.

Time spent so far since 2024 and onwards, on study or research or gathering evidences or raw material or notes for the project =
50 hours : 0 minutes (19th April 2024 - Only Step 1 started, Money allocation for Step 2 is not measured in terms of time) (Even in case any funding is ever received for Arabic Case Theory Project, the above mentioned hours will remain volunteer work for Hereafter benefit only and purely and no funding will be taken for these hours, and funding will be used for additional hours only inshaALLAH!)

Step 1: Sharpening of Tools for Quick Research from whatever is available and whatever becomes available with time
Abraham Linclon is reported to have said this or something like this : "Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first 4 sharpening the axe."

Step 2 : Acquisition of Book 1
Estimated total amount required to buy the book (including overhead deductions due to transaction) : PKR Rs. 14000. (Note: Price may increase further by the time I am able to accumulate this amount)

An important step is to buy and read the following book:
Evaluation of Ibn Maḍāʼ's criticism of the Arab grammarians (1985 PHD Thesis by Naji Abdeljabbar Abdeljaber, University of Michigan)
As per the book preview it seems like a very important book for my planned detailed posts on case theory.
Any volunteer who has access to University of Michigan Library may download from: Link from where 8.5MB PDF can be found (downloadable by University of Michigan users only). For me, only available option seems to be to buy a lower quality PDF apparently, from this link

Update 1 (6th March 2024):
Rs. 1000 taken from salary and saved for the fund to buy this book eventually inshaALLAH!

1st self funding allocation

MashaALLAH! Asim Iqbal 2nd has officially started the project : funding or no funding, take it head on,... Asim Iqbal 2nd style,... no matter the cost!

Quran 28:24

And All Glory and Praise Belongs Only to ALLAH, I am just a humble slave of ALLAH. If anything good is done by me, it is only due to ALLAH's Guidance and Favor, that He Chose me for some good work, and if there is any mistake, it is due to me or due to consequences of my shortcomings or mistakes.

Paired Partner Project (To be started once some progress is made on the above project inshaALLAH!):
Quran Defense Project 2 (Funding not allowed by me for Quran Defense Projects): Concordance of All Aayaat on quoted communication to defend quoted communication from any attacks, as quoted communication is not bound to quote the entire quotation in every single occurrence, and different parts of the same communication can be quoted for eloquence and befitting to the context selection from the quotation.
