Example sentences
والقول الفصل هو الذي يفصل بين الحق والباطل فيميز هذا من هذا ويفصل بين الناس فيما اختلفوا فيه
The decisive word is what distinguishes between truth and falsehood, discerning this from that, and it differentiates between people in their disputes.
اخْتَلَفُوا — they disputed. A past-tense verb 'they disputed' with the plural 'they' subject built into its ending. Arabic marks the plural doer inside the verb, so no separate 'they' is written.
