Example sentences

• وهم أصحاب اليمين الذين آمنوا بالله وصدقوا المرسلين وسلكوا غير سبيل المجرمين

  And they are the companions of the right hand who believed in God and confirmed the messengers and followed paths other than those of the criminals.

  آمَنُوا — they believed. This is a past-tense verb carrying a built-in plural 'they' subject, 'they believed'. The plural doer is shown by the verb ending itself, so no separate 'they' is needed; this heads the description of the right-hand companions.
