Example sentences
يحرم المراء في القرآن والجدال فيه بغير حق
Argumentation in the Quran and disputing it without right is prohibited.
الْمِرَاءُ — argumentation. The doer-slot of a passive verb is filled by what undergoes the action: here 'wrangling' is what gets forbidden. The -u marks it as that subject; it names contentious, pointless dispute, distinct from honest inquiry.
