Example sentences

• فَمن اتَّقى الشُّبُهَات اسْتَبْرَأَ لعرضه وَدينه

  Whoever avoids the ambiguous matters clears himself regarding his religion and honor.

  اسْتَبْرَأَ — he has cleared. This is the result-half of the 'whoever' sentence: a past-tense verb carrying its own 'he', meaning he has secured or absolved himself. Arabic pairs the condition verb earlier with this answer verb to complete the if-then, where English would lean on 'then'.
