• فتختبر ذلك اليوم حتى يظهر خيرها من شرها ومؤديها من مضيعها وما كان لله مما لم يكن له

  Then that humiliation will be tested that day until its good is revealed from its evil, its deliverer from its destroyer, and what was for God from what was not for Him.

  ذُلُّكَ — that humiliation. This noun carries an attached '-your' on its end, binding the humiliation to a second person being addressed. Arabic hooks the possessor directly onto the noun as a suffix, so the single word states both the thing and whose it is, where English needs the separate word 'your'.
