شَقٌّdirection

Example sentences

• فإن هذا العلم في شق وما جاءت به الرسل في شق،

  For this knowledge lies in one direction, and what the messengers brought lies in another.

  شَقٍّ — one direction. 'a side / split / camp,' indefinite, in the -i form after 'in.' This knowledge is 'in ONE camp' — and, the parallel says, revelation is in another. The image: two separate, opposed directions.

• فإن هذا العلم في شق وما جاءت به الرسل في شق،

  For this knowledge lies in one direction, and what the messengers brought lies in another.

  شَقٍّ — another direction. 'a side / camp,' indefinite, in the -i form after 'in' — 'in ANOTHER camp.' The closing image: this metaphysics in one direction, revelation in the other — wholly separate. Hence the success-seeker leaves the one for the other.
