How to say “beware” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
إياك أن تشتغل بهذا الجدل الذي ظهر بعد انقراض الأكابر من العلماء يشير إلى جدل العميدي فإنه يبعد عن الفقه، ويضيع العمر، ويورث الوحشة والعداوة،
Beware of getting involved in this debate that emerged after the passing of the great scholars (referring to the debate of Al-Amidi), for it distances you from understanding the law, wastes your life, and breeds loneliness and enmity.
إيّاكَ — You beware. 'beware!' — a special warning form: the detached object-pronoun 'you' used alone as a caution, with an understood 'keep yourself away'. It opens 'beware of...'.
