More example sentences
نسأل الله العفو،
We ask Allah for forgiveness,
نَسْأَلُ we ask
This present verb, 'we ask', carries 'we' inside its prefix. Crucially, 'ask' in Arabic takes TWO direct objects with no preposition — the one asked and the thing requested — both in the accusative. So watch for two bare accusative nouns to follow.
نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ العَفْوَ وَالسِّتْرَ
We ask God for forgiveness and to conceal our faults.
نَسْأَلُ we ask
This is a present-tense verb whose doer is a built-in 'we', so the speaker-group is part of the verb itself with no separate pronoun. In this devotional setting the plain present carries a request sense, 'we ask', framing a collective supplication addressed to God.
نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِاتِّبَاعِهِمْ،
We ask God for success in following them.
نَسْأَلُ we ask
A present-tense verb in the 'we' shape, its plural-speaker subject built into the form, used here as a prayer or petition. The shift to 'we' marks the author folding himself and his readers together into a shared supplication that the rest of the sentence spells out.
