Arabic vocabulary
بِرَبِّ is how you say “in the Lord” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
جمعة الدفتان من أول الحمد لله رب العالمين إلى آخر قل أعوذ برب الناس كلام الله
Friday of the Two Booklets: from the beginning, "Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds," to the end, "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind." The Word of God.
بِرَبِّ — in the Lord. This is the preposition bi- ('in/with') fused onto its noun, which it forces into the 'of' (genitive) ending. The preposition completes the verb 'seek refuge', marking the noun as the protector turned to; that noun in turn heads a possessive pairing with 'mankind' that follows.
From: Honoring the Quran →OpenArabic teaches words like بِرَبِّ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
