حتى يدعوه إلى النظر فيما خلق منه ليستقبح منه صحة إمكان رد الماء
So that He might invite him to reflect on what he was created from, deeming the possibility of water's return improbable.
يَدْعُوَهُ He might invite him
This present-tense verb carries its 'he' subject and an attached object pronoun, and its ending is in the subjunctive form because of the 'until/so that' particle before it. The altered ending is how a reader knows the calling is the intended aim, not something already happening.
فَذَاكَ إِذْ يَدْعُوْهُمْ الرَّسُولُ فِي أُخْرَاهُمْ،
And that was when the Messenger called to them from behind.
يَدْعُوهُمُ he calls them
A present-shape verb with a '-hum' tail attaching 'them' as the called, used as a vivid storytelling present inside the past frame. Arabic reaches for the unfinished form to make the calling feel live and ongoing, 'was calling them'.
وَيَدْعُوهُمْ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنَ الْمَوَاعِظِ إِلَى الْعَمَلِ أَحْيَانًا،
And the admonitions mentioned earlier sometimes urge them to act.
وَيَدْعُوهُمْ and urge them
This single word stacks the linking 'and', a present-tense verb, and an attached 'them' object. The 'and' chains the clause; the suffix is the people urged; the verb's doer is named later in the sentence.
