Example sentences

• وَحِصْنًا حَصِينًا لَا يَهْدِمُ وَلَا يَثْلِمُ

  And a secure fortress, neither demolished nor breached.

  يَهْدِمُ — is demolished. A present verb, read passively here as 'it is torn down': the fortress receives the action. Arabic adds no helper word; the role is shown by the verb's vowel pattern. Negated by the preceding 'not', it gives 'that is not demolished'.
