Example sentences

• ﴿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'.
