نَسْأَلُask

Example sentences

• نسأل الله السلامة،

  We ask Allah for safety.

  نَسْأَلُ — we ask. 'we ask,' present — the 'we' in the front prefix. A pious aside. It takes two objects — the one asked (God) and the thing requested (safety), Arabic letting 'ask' govern both directly, as the next words show.

  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.
