Arabic vocabulary
يَسْتَقْبِح is how you say “deem unlikely” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
حتى يدعوه إلى النظر فيما خلق منه ليستقبح منه صحة إمكان رد الماء
So that He might invite him to reflect on what he was created from, deeming the possibility of water's return improbable.
لِيَسْتَقْبِحَ — deeming improbable. This stacks the purpose particle 'so that' onto a verb in the self-seeking pattern, with its subject built in. The purpose particle forces the subjunctive ending, marking the act as an intended outcome, and the verb means to find something repugnant or far-fetched.
