Example sentences

• كَمَا أَنَّ اللُّصُوصَ قَوَاطِعُ لِطُرُقِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ

  Just as thieves are highwaymen who block Muslims' access to the ways of the world.

  قَوَاطِعُ — cutters. A plural describing word ('cutters / blockers') that completes the statement about the thieves: it is what they ARE. It stands as the predicate balancing the object-form 'thieves', so the clause reads 'thieves are blockers'.
