فِيهِمْin them

Example sentences

• وَأَقْوَامَ لَا يُؤَثِّرُ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا بِمِقْدَارٍ سَمَاعِهِ،

  And there are people who are affected only to the extent of what they have heard.

  فِيهِمْ — in them. This is an in/within preposition with an attached 'them', marking the people as those the effect lands inside: 'in them'. The suffix points back to this latest sub-group.

• وَفِيهِمْ مَنْ يُبَارِزُ بِالذُّنُوبِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، مَعَ نَوْعِ مَعْرِفَةِ الْمَنَاهِيِ

  Among them are those who brazenly commit grave sins while having only a limited knowledge of the prohibitions.

  وَفِيهِمْ — and in them. Three pieces fused: a connecting 'and', the preposition 'in/among', and a 'them' suffix. The 'and' links the sentence onward, while the preposition-plus-pronoun together mean 'among them'. It fronts the sentence as an 'among them there are...' frame, with the subject of that existence-statement supplied right after.
