Example sentences

فقيل لهم كل العبادات طعام وتعبد هذا دقيق الكيس،
It was said to them, "All acts of worship are sustenance, and this devotion is the finest of discernment."
فَقِيلَ — so it was said. The fused front letter gives a 'so/then' link to the reply. The verb is in its passive shape, meaning the speech was directed at them with no named speaker; Arabic marks the passive by changing the inner vowels of the verb rather than adding a 'was' word.
