Example sentence

فقال من طلب العلم ليجاري به العلماء، ويماري به السفهاء، ويصرف به وجوه الناس اليه أدخله الله النار

He said: 'Whoever seeks knowledge to compete with the scholars, or to argue with the foolish, or to turn people's faces towards him, Allah will admit him into the Fire.'

لِيُجَارِيَ to compete with

Here 'li-' is the 'in order to' marker fused to a present-tense verb, and that marker pushes the verb into its subjunctive shape, which signals purpose. The change of the verb's ending is exactly how Arabic shows this is the aim of seeking, not something already done.
