How to say “brings closer” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
لكنها ليست من علوم الدين، ولا مما يتقرب به الى الله ولا من زاد المعاد،
But it is not among the sciences of religion, nor is it something that brings one closer to Allah, nor is it provision for the hereafter.
يُتَقَرَّبُ — brings one closer. This is an impersonal passive verb — built so that no specific doer is named: 'by which one is brought near / drawing-near is done'. Arabic can cast a verb in the passive with no actor at all, focusing on the act itself. It pairs with the pronoun-preposition next.
