ظُلُمِdarkness

Example sentences

• وَكَسَفَتْ شَمْسُهُ عِنْدَ اِجْتِمَاعِ ظُلُمِ آرَائِهِمْ وَعَقْدِهَا فَلَيْسُوا يُبْصِرُونَهَا

  And his sun was eclipsed when the darkness of their opinions gathered and was sealed, so they do not see it.

  ظُلُمِ — darkness. A noun continuing the possessive chain and itself bound to the next word, so the links read 'gathering of the darkness of their opinions'. Arabic can stack these 'of' relationships one after another, each noun owning the one before it; this middle noun is both owned and owner.
