How to say “command” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَأما الْحزن فَلم يَأْمر الله بِهِ وَلَا رَسُوله بل قد نهى عَنهُ فِي مَوَاضِع
As for sadness, God did not command it, nor did His Messenger; rather, it has been prohibited in certain places.
يَأْمُرِ — he commands. Present-form verb, 'commands', read as past 'did command' because of the negation before it, with a vowel adjusted for the following word. Its 'he' subject (Allah) is named just after; the negation makes it 'did not command'.
From: Patience in Hard Times →OpenArabic teaches words like يَأْمُر through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
