Example sentences

• وَمِنْ أَحْوَالِ الْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْحَرْبُ سِجَالًا وَدَوْلًا بَيِّنًا دُعَاةَ الدِّينِ وَدُعَاةِ الْهَوَى

  One of the believer's states is that the struggle is a fierce, alternating contest between the call of religion and the call of desire.

  وَدَوْلًا — and alternation. Joined by 'wa-' to the previous predicate noun, it shares the same accusative shape and adds a second image of the same idea: turns that alternate, fortune passing from one side to the other. The conjunction stacks a parallel description rather than starting a new clause.
