Example sentences

• وفي السجود سبحانَ ربّي الأعلى فتضعُ النفسَ موضعَها عبدٌ يقتربُ بسجوده لا بصورةٍ يُنشِرها

  In prostration: 'Glory be to my Lord, the Most High,' you place the self in its position: a servant who draws near through prostration, not through an image to be shared.

  يَقْتَرِبُ — who draws near. Present 'draws near', subject 'he' inside, describing the servant. The form (with -ta-) gives a sense of bringing oneself closer step by step.
