اجْتُنِبَavoid

Example sentences

• وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ وَرَمَضَانُ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ مَكَفِّرَاتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ إِذَا اجْتُنِبَتِ الْكَبَائِرِ

  The Messenger of Allah said: The five prayers, Friday to Friday, and Ramadan to Ramadan are expiations for what is between them, if the major sins are avoided.

  اجْتُنِبَتِ — are avoided. A passive verb: its inner vowels are reshaped so the sins are what get avoided, with no named avoider. Arabic marks the passive through the vowel pattern, not a helper word, and its feminine ending agrees with the plural that follows.
