اِنْظُرْfind

Example sentences

• فَقَالَ لِأُمْيَّةَ اِنْظُرْ لِيَّ سَاعَةَ خَلْوَةِ لَعَلَّيَ أَنْ أَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ

  He said to Umayya, "Find for me a time of seclusion; perhaps I may circumambulate the House."

  انْظُرْ — find. A command form (imperative) addressed to one man — 'look out / find for me'. Imperatives in Arabic carry the 'you' inside them, so no separate 'you' is needed; it issues the request directly.

• وَكُلَّمَا اِسْتَوْحَشْتَ فِي تَفَرُّدِكَ فَانْظُرْ إِلَى الرَّفِيقِ السَّابِقِ،

  Whenever you feel lonely in your solitude, then look to the preceding companion.

  فَانْظُرْ — then look. The fa- here is the apodosis marker: it heads the 'then' response that answers the 'whenever' set up earlier, formally linking the result to its condition. The verb it carries is a command, 'look', with its 'you' subject inside. So the word signals 'then (do this): look...'.
