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.

  بِاسْمِ — in name. 'in the name of' — 'bi' plus 'ism', heading an 'of' pairing with 'Allah'; the means by which the action is begun. Same dropped-alif spelling as the basmala.
