عَفْوَforgiveness

Example sentences

• نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ العَفْوَ وَالسِّتْرَ

  We ask God for forgiveness and to conceal our faults.

  العَفْوَ — forgiveness. This noun carries 'al-' (the) and is a second object of 'we ask', the thing being requested, so it too takes the object-style (accusative) ending. The verb here takes two objects, the One asked and the thing asked for, and this is the latter, named definite.
