How to say “approve” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
فإن كمال علمه وقدرته وحكمته تأبى أن يقر من تقول عليه وافترى عليه
For His perfect knowledge, power, and wisdom refuse to approve one who falsely attributes to Him and fabricates against Him.
يُقِرَّ — he approves. Because of the preceding 'an', this verb wears the subjunctive ending, marking approval as the contemplated act being refused. On its doubling pattern it means to let stand or affirm, and its subject is understood from the context.
From: False Prophets →فكيف يليق بأحكم الحاكمين وأرحم الراحمين وأقدر القادرين أن يقره على ذلك
How can it befit the Wisest of Judges, the Most Merciful of the merciful, the Most Powerful of the powerful, to approve of that?
يُقِرَّهُ — approve of that. Forced subjunctive by 'an', this verb means to let stand or approve, with the object 'him' attached pointing to the false claimant. The clause it heads is what supposedly would not befit the All-wise.
From: False Prophets →وَلِهَذَا كَانَ عُنْوَانُ التَّوْحِيدِ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ بِخِلَافِ مَنْ يُقِرُّ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِهِ
For this reason, the title of monotheism is "There is no god but Allah", in contrast to one who merely acknowledges His lordship.
يُقِرُّ — acknowledges. A present-tense verb 'affirms/acknowledges' inside the relative clause, carrying its own 'he' subject. It tells what the contrasting person does, and the prepositional phrase after it names what he acknowledges.
