Example sentences

• لله سُبْحَانَهُ على عَبده أَمر أمره بِهِ

  To Allah, glory be to Him, belongs a command He has given to His servant.

  أَمَرَهُ — He commanded it. A past verb describing the just-named 'command'; since that noun is indefinite, no 'which' links them. 'He' is the built-in subject (God) and '-hu' the object, so it reads 'a command He ordered'.

  So his servitude regarding the command is by complying with sincerity and emulating the Messenger of Allah.

  الأَمْرِ — the command. In the genitive because the preposition governs it. It names God's command, the sphere in which this particular servitude operates.

  الأَمْرَ — the matter. The object of 'he mentioned', so it carries the accusative object ending and its own 'the' for definiteness. Arabic marks a direct object by the noun's ending, not by word order alone.
