Arabic vocabulary
How to say “call” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَمِنْ أَحْوَالِ الْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْحَرْبُ سِجَالًا وَدَوْلًا بَيِّنًا دُعَاةَ الدِّينِ وَدُعَاةِ الْهَوَى
One of the believer's states is that the struggle is a fierce, alternating contest between the call of religion and the call of desire.
وَدُعَاةِ — and call. The 'wa-' chains this onto the previous phrase, building a matching 'call of...' that contrasts with the first. It is again the first half of an 'of' pairing, this time owned by 'desire', so the two appeals (religion and desire) are set against each other.
From: Staying Firm in Faith →OpenArabic teaches words like دُعَاةِ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
