Example sentences

• والمسكنة للمسلمين إلا الفاسقين منهم ،

  And humility towards Muslims, except for the transgressors among them,

  وَالمَسْكَنَةُ — and the humility. This is the bound wa- 'and' plus al- 'the' plus a noun, 'and the meekness', coordinated onto the preceding advice. Acting as a topic carried over from 'keep to', the wa- joins it as a further trait to maintain; one word holds 'and' plus 'the'.
