Example sentences

• وحكمته فِي قَضَائِهِ وَقدره

• العادل في اقضيته لم يخف ولم يجر،

  The Just One in His decrees, He neither feared nor acted unjustly,

  أَقْضِيَتِهِ — His decrees. This noun takes the 'of' ending demanded by the preposition before it, and a possessive 'his' is fused to its end, reaching back to God named earlier in the line. Arabic lets such an attached owner point some distance back, so tracking that the decrees belong to the Just One, not to any nearer word, is part of reading the line.

• أبرم القضاء قبل خلق إنفاذا،

  He decreed the judgment before creation as enforcement.

  ٱلْقَضَاءَ — the judgment. The al- makes this definite, 'the judgment / decree'. It is the object of the verb 'decreed' and carries the -a ending that marks the thing an action falls upon.
