Hi Louai, what I was trying to say about al-'ilm was:
- al-'ilm is a masculine noun that can mean 'information', is that right?
- that like the English word 'information' it is conjugated as a singular - is كان العلم incorrect?
Anyway, if I was able to help you just using English explanation, then don't let my Arabic mistakes confuse you!

Thank you for your answer , it is really helpful . But I would like to say that tha Arabic example is not accurate because
كانت" للمؤنث و ليس لها علاقة بالجمع او المفرد "
انت تقصد لا يجب كتابة كانوا العلم

It's not really a plural word, it's singular, referring to an amount of uncountable 'stuff.'. You say 'the information is...' not 'the information are...'
I think it's the same as العلم (al-'ilm), you say كان العلم not كانت العلم ?
