مَا قَدَرْتُ أَنْ أَتَأَمَّلَ أُمِّي مُنْذُ أَسْلَمَتْ
I could not look after my mother since she embraced Islam.
قَدَرْتُ I could
A past-tense verb of ability with the -tu ending fixing 'I' as the subject, 'I was able'. Under the negation before it, it becomes 'I was not able'. It leans on the 'that...' clause that follows to say what he could not manage, so it works as a frame awaiting its complement.
