هُدِيَbe guided

Example sentences

• فَمَنْ هُدِيَ فِيْ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ إِلَى صِرَاطِ اللَّهِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ،

  So whoever is guided in this world to the Straight Path of Allah,

  هُدِيَ — is guided. This is the passive form of the verb: the person 'is guided' rather than guiding, with the action received. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the verb's inner vowels, not by adding a helper word like 'is'. The guide is left unnamed, the usual effect of the passive, hinting at the divine actor.
