Arabic vocabulary
How to say “a protection” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
عَصَمْنَا اللَّهُ وَإِّيَّاكُمْ مِنْ فِتْنَتِهِ عِصْمَةٌ يُدْخِلُنَا بِهَا فِي رَحْمَتِهِ
May Allah protect us and you from His trials with a protection that brings us by it into His mercy.
عصمَة — a protection. The noun 'protection', left indefinite (no 'the'), so it means 'a protection', and it sets up the relative clause that follows, 'a protection that brings us...'. Standing as the thing prayed for, it sits in the plain subject-style ending and anchors the verb that describes it.
