Arabic vocabulary
How to say “consensus” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وأجمعوا على أن من جحد منه حرفا مما أجمع عليه أو زاد حرفا لم يقرأ به أحد وهو عالم بذلك فهو كافر
And they unanimously agree that whoever denies any letter upon which there is consensus or adds a letter not recited by anyone, while being aware, is a disbeliever.
أُجْمِعَ — there is consensus. A passive past-tense verb 'is/was agreed', where the doer is left unnamed because the focus is the consensus itself, not who reached it. Arabic forms the passive by reshaping the verb's inner vowels, not by adding a helper word. It heads the relative clause defining the protected letters.
From: Honoring the Quran →OpenArabic teaches words like أُجْمِعَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
