قُدْرَةٌability

Example sentences

• الثاني أن ذلك أدل على المطلوب من القدرة على رد الماء في الاحليل

  The second is that it demonstrates the desired conclusion more effectively than the ability to return water into the urethra.

  القُدْرَةِ — ability. This noun 'the ability/power' is the front of an 'of' pair, 'the ability of returning', genitive after the comparative 'than'. It owns the noun after it and drops its own 'the', taking definiteness from the owner that follows.

• فإن كمال علمه وقدرته وحكمته تأبى أن يقر من تقول عليه وافترى عليه

  For His perfect knowledge, power, and wisdom refuse to approve one who falsely attributes to Him and fabricates against Him.

  وَقُدْرَتِهِ — His power. The conjunction adds another owned quality, his power, also in the genitive and also carrying the attached possessor. Arabic lets one head noun, perfection, govern a series of genitive owners joined by 'and', so all three qualities hang off the same construction.
