Arabic vocabulary
How to say “among” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
وَذَكَرَهُمْ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ،
and Allah makes mention of them among those who are with Him.
فِيمَنْ — in who. This is the preposition 'among/in' fused with a word meaning 'those who,' two pieces written as one. It opens a relative idea — the company in whose midst the mention happens — which the phrase after it fills out.
From: Easing a Believer's Hardship →كَانَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ
There were among those who were before you.
فِيمَنْ — in whom. This fuses the preposition 'fi' (among/in) with the relative word 'man' (those who), giving 'among the sort who...'. 'Fi' marks membership in a group while 'man' opens a relative clause describing it, so together they frame the man as belonging to people of an earlier age.
From: The Joy of Repentance →وَهَذِهِ إِحْدَى الْفَوَائِدِ فِي دُعَاءِ الْقُنُوتِ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ أَيْ أَدْخِلْنِي فِي هَذِهِ الزُّمَرَةِ،
And this is one of the benefits in the standing supplication: O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, that is, admit me into this group.
فِيمَنْ — in whom. A welded word: the preposition 'in/among' fused with the relative 'whoever'. It means 'among those whom', placing the speaker within the company of the guided. The preposition governs the fused relative, and a clause naming what God did follows.
From: Choosing Good Companions →OpenArabic teaches words like فِيمَنْ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
