Arabic vocabulary
How to say “honor” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
فوَاللَّه مَا أكرمها من لم يهنها
By Allah, no one has honored it who has not humiliated it.
أَكْرَمَهَا — has honored it. A past-tense (form IV) verb 'honored / ennobled' with '-ha' (it) attached as object, its subject coming next. The suffix points to the soul.
From: Guarding the Heart →إِضَافَةٍ لِمَا أَكْرَمَهُمْ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْوَرَعِ وَالتَّقْوَى،
In addition to the piety and God-consciousness with which God has honored them,
أَكْرَمَهُمْ — has honored them. A past verb 'honoured' with an attached object '-hum' = 'them' folded directly onto it, so subject (named next), verb and object are tightly packed. The object comes before the subject here, a normal Arabic order; '-hum' names the ones honoured.
