Arabic vocabulary
أبصار is how you say “gaze” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
﴿قُلْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَغُضُّوا مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِمْ﴾، وَنَظَائِرُهُ
'Say to the believers to lower their gaze', and similar passages.
أَبْصَارِهِمْ — their gaze. A plural noun, 'eyes/gazes', closed off with a 'their' ending that points back to the believers just mentioned. The single word thus means 'their gazes'; Arabic attaches the possessor straight onto the noun instead of using a separate word like English 'their'.
From: The Messenger as Conveyor of Revelation →OpenArabic teaches words like أبصار through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
