Arabic vocabulary
وُلِدَ is how you say “born” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وقال بعضهم فلعلهم الذين ولدوا في الإسلام، فلم يشركوا بالله شيئاً وذكروا أشياء
and some of them said: Perhaps they are those born in Islam who never associated anything with Allah – and they mentioned other things –
وُلِدُوا — they were born. This is a passive verb — 'were born' — built so the subject receives the action of being brought into the world. The '-u' carries 'they'. Arabic marks the passive inside the verb's vowels, not with a helper word.
