Example sentence

عَبْدٌ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

A servant for whom what preceded of his sin was forgiven.

غُفِرَ was forgiven

This is the passive form of the verb: the thing forgiven undergoes the action, while who forgives is left unstated. Arabic adds no helper word like 'was'; it marks the passive by changing the vowels inside the verb, which is why it looks close to its active twin but flips the roles. It is the core statement about the servant.

غُفِرَ was forgiven

A passive past verb: the inner vowels mark forgiveness as something received, not done, so the sins are the thing forgiven and no doer is named. Arabic builds the passive by reshaping the vowels rather than adding a helper word.
