Example sentences
إِلَى أَنْ فُرُوقَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي مَذَاهِبٍ سَخِيفَةٍ وَبِدَعٍ قَبِيحَةٍ
until the divisions of the Age of Ignorance became foolish doctrines and ugly innovations.
الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ — of the Age of Ignorance. This noun sits in the genitive shape as the second half of a possessive pairing, the owner of the divisions. Arabic builds 'X of Y' by placing the two nouns side by side, and the second noun, the owner, takes the genitive ending.
