مُقَدَّرimplicit in Arabic

Example sentences

• فهي ليستْ لفظًا مُنفردًا، بل جملةٌ مُقدَّرة معناها أبدأ عملي باسمِ الله، فأربطُ الفعلَ بالرّب

  it is not an isolated utterance, but an implicit sentence meaning: I begin my action in the name of Allah, thus linking the act to the Lord.

  مُقَدَّرَةٌ — implicit. 'implied, understood', a passive participle on 'sentence', agreeing as nominative, feminine, indefinite. Being passive, it casts the sentence as one the mind supplies though it is not spoken in full.

• وكتب لفناء ساكنيها عمرًا مقدرًا وميقاتا،

  And He decreed a lifespan and an appointed time for the demise of its inhabitants,

  مُقَدَّرًا — appointed. A passive-participle describing word meaning 'measured out / predetermined', qualifying the lifespan and matching it in being indefinite and in the accusative case. Arabic puts the describing word after the noun and harmonizes the endings, so the agreement ties 'fixed' to the lifespan.
