Example sentences

• فَيَنْبَغِي لِلْعَالَمِ أَنْ يَتَوَفَّرَ عَلَى التَّصَانِيفِ إِنْ وَفَّقَ لِلْتَّصْنِيفِ الْمُفِيدِ

  Therefore, it is incumbent upon the scholar to devote himself to written works if he is granted success in producing a useful work.

  وَفَّقَ — he is granted success. A past-form verb that, under the conditional 'if', reads as 'is granted', and its built-on pattern carries a passive 'is made to succeed' sense — the scholar receives the success rather than manufacturing it. Arabic marks that passive force by the internal vowels, with no helper word.
