More example sentences
وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدْرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ
And believe in the divine decree, its good and its evil.
وَشَرِّهِ and its evil
The connecting 'and' fused to a noun 'its evil' with 'its' attached, pairing with 'its good'. The 'and' coordinates the two halves, the suffix again pointing back to the decree, both in the genitive.
وَنَجَا مِنْ شَرِّهَا،
And he escaped its harm.
شَرِّهَا harm of it
A noun ('harm') with the suffix '-ha' ('its/their') fused on as possessor, in the genitive after 'from'. The attached pronoun reaches back to the 'matters' of the previous sentences, so it is specifically their harm that is escaped.
