Example sentences

وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمُرُّ كَالْطَرْفِ،
And among them are those who pass by like the blink of an eye,
كَالْطَرْفِ — like the blink of an eye. The comparison particle ka- ('like') fused with the definite noun for a blink/glance, forming a simile of an instant. The ka- sets up the likeness and forces the noun into the genitive ending. The al- blends in sound into the next consonant, a normal assimilation not shown in writing.
