جُنْدٌarmy

Example sentences

• الذي نصر بي جند السنة وقد ضعفوا فأنا اليزك،

  The one who gave victory to the soldiers of the Sunnah through me when they were weak, so I am the vanguard.

  جُنْدَ — army. This noun is the thing helped and sits in the object ending, and it is also the first half of a possessive pair. As the leading noun it leans on the next word to say army of what, with no separate 'of'.

• فَيَسْتَسْلِمُ الْبَائِسُ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَجُنْدِهِ

  So the wretched man surrenders to Satan and his troops.

  وَجُنْدِهِ — and his troops. Two pieces: wa- ('and') extends the list of who he surrenders to, and the noun carries -hu ('his') at the end. The attached pronoun points back to Satan, so 'his troops' are added alongside their master as the further party of the surrender.

• وَجُنْدٌ أَصْحَابُهَا الْمَكْرُ وَالْخِدَاعُ

  And the forces of its companions are guile and deception.

  وَجُنْدٌ — and forces. The wa- opens a new statement, and the noun after it is a collective in the nominative, 'forces'. It serves as the topic of the sentence, with what follows naming what those forces are, so the conjunction simply links this to the running list.
