Arabic vocabulary
قَرُبَ is how you say “approach” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فما أظنك في ذلك تبلغ رتبة ابن تيمية ولا والله تقربها،
So I do not think you in that will reach the rank of Ibn Taymiyyah, nor by God will you come close to it,
تَقْرَبُهَا — you come close to it. A present-tense verb meaning you come near, with 'you' built in and the object 'it' attached pointing back to the rank. It completes the oath-backed denial, 'nor, by God, do you come near it', the suffix tracking the rank mentioned earlier.
