مُهْلِكdangerous

Example sentences

• وَلِهَذَا كَانَ الله أَشد فَرحا بتوبة العَبْد من الفاقد لراحلته عَلَيْهَا طَعَامه وَشَرَابه فِي ارْض دوية ملهكة إِذا نَام آيسا مِنْهَا ثمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَوَجَدَهَا

  And for this reason, Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His servant than one who finds his lost mount, upon it his food and drink, in a barren, dangerous land after sleeping in despair of it, then waking to find it.

  مُهْلِكَةٍ — dangerous. This is a second adjective on the same land, again matching it in indefiniteness and genitive case. Stacking adjectives this way, each agreeing with the noun, is how Arabic piles up descriptions of one thing.
