How to say “commanded” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
وهو إعانته على نفسه التي هي وديعة الله تعالى عنده وقد أُمر بحفظها
And it is his aiding against his self, which is the trust of Allah, Exalted is He, placed with him, and he has been commanded to preserve it.
أُمِرَ — been commanded. This is the passive: the man is the one commanded, not the one commanding, and Arabic marks that purely by the inner vowel pattern of the verb, with no helper word. So the form reads 'he was ordered'.
