Arabic vocabulary
How to say “commanded” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فيقول إن ربي قد غضب اليوم غضباً لم يغضب قبله مثله، ولن يغضب بعده مثله، وإني قد قتلت نفساً لم أومر بقتلها، نفسي نفسي نفسي، اذهبوا إلى غيري،
He will say: "My Lord has become angry today with an anger like none before or after. Indeed, I killed a person whom I was not commanded to kill. Myself, myself, myself! Go to someone else."
أُومَرْ — I was commanded. A passive past-meaning verb under the negator: the '-u' / passive vowels mark the speaker as one who receives the command rather than gives it, and 'I' is the built-in subject. So he is the one not commanded.
From: The Prophet's Intercession →OpenArabic teaches words like أُومِر through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
