Example sentences

فاسدة كان عمله تابعًا لسريرته لا اعتبار بصورته فتبدو سريرته على وجهه سوادا وظلمة وشينا
His deeds were corrupt, following his inner self; no regard was paid to his outward appearance, so his inner state appeared on his face as blackness, darkness, and ugliness.
سَوَادًا — blackness. This noun is in the accusative-of-manner, naming the guise the inner state shows itself in, appearing 'as blackness'. Arabic uses this case to express what something turns into or manifests as, so the ending itself, not a separate 'as', carries that 'in the form of' sense.
