Arabic vocabulary
How to say “command” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
وإن أعرضت كإعراضك عن وصية الإله العظيم ،
And if you turn away as you turned away from the command of the Almighty God,
وَصِيَّةِ — the command of. This noun, 'the command of', sits in the possessed ending forced by the preposition before it, and it also heads a possessive pairing with the divine name that follows, owning it. So it is doubly bound: governed by 'away from' on one side and owning the next word on the other, with no spoken 'of'.
From: True Devotion →انتهت الوصية قوبلت
The counsel is concluded and accepted.
الوَصِيَّةُ — the counsel. The al- marks this definite, 'the counsel, the testament', and it is the feminine subject of the verb before it, in the plain subject ending. That is why the verb took a feminine ending; the noun lands after its verb as the thing that ended.
