لَعَنَcursed

Example sentences

• قَالَ تَعَالَى وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا

  He (Allah) said: 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide in it, and Allah's wrath is upon him, and He has cursed him and prepared for him a great punishment.'

  وَلَعَنَهُ — and He cursed him. This fronts wa- 'and' onto a past-tense verb 'cursed', with 'him' attached as object. The wa- adds this to the chain of penalties, the subject (God) carried over from before without restatement. The attached object pronoun is the killer who is cursed; the past form states it as a done divine act.
