Example sentences

• أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْدِلْ فِي قِسْمَتِهَا فَيَأْثَمُ

  that he did not act fairly in dividing it, and so he commits a sin

  قِسْمَتِهَا — division of it. A noun sealed off by the attached '-ha', a possessor fixed to its tail where English keeps a separate word. The suffix points back to the thing being shared out, so reading the line means tracing what 'its' is anchored to, not just decoding the word.
