Arabic vocabulary
How to say “forgive” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ عَدَّ الشِّرْكَ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الْكَبَائِرِ مَعَ أَنَّ مُرْتَكِبَهُ مُخَلَّدٌ فِي النَّارِ وَلَا يُغْفَرُ لَهُ أَبَدًا؟
Do you not see that He counted associating partners with Allah among the major sins, even though its doer will remain eternally in the Fire and will never be forgiven?
يُغْفَرُ — it is forgiven. A passive verb, 'it is forgiven', whose inner vowels are reshaped so the forgiving is received with no named forgiver. Arabic marks the passive by the vowel pattern, here under the negation, so no forgiveness is granted.
