Arabic vocabulary
جَرَّ is how you say “drag” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
إذا داهمك خاطرٌ يجرّك إلى رياءٍ أو عُجب، اسأله بهدوء هل يزيدني قربًا أم يصنع لي تمثالًا من دخان
If a thought comes to you that leads you to vanity or conceit, ask it calmly: does it bring me closer, or does it create a statue of smoke?
يَجُرُّكَ — that pulls you. Present-tense verb 'yajurr' = 'it drags, pulls'; '-ka' = 'you', so 'pulls you'.
