Arabic vocabulary
ضَمِنَ is how you say “include” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
فَإِنْ حَصَلَتْ مَصْلَحَةٌ حَصَلَتْ ضِمْنًا وَتَبَعًا
So if a benefit occurs, it happens incidentally and as a secondary outcome.
ضِمْنًا — incidentally. The '-an' ending marks an adverb — 'implicitly, incidentally'.
From: When Desire Exceeds Its Bounds →وَلَقَدْ ضَمِنَ الْوَفِيُّ الصَّادِقُ لِأَهْلِهِ فِي مُحْكَمِ الْكِتَابِ أَنَّهُ يُوفِيَهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
And indeed the Faithful, the Truthful has guaranteed for His own, in the decisive Book, that He will grant them their reward without reckoning.
ضَمِنَ — he guaranteed. A completed-action verb with the doer ('He') folded inside the verb itself, so no separate subject word is needed. It governs what follows as the thing guaranteed, setting up the long object clause later in the sentence.
From: Patience and God's Help →وَضَمِنَ إِبْلِيسُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ الْوُصُولَ إِلَيْهَا
And Iblis assured his companions that they would reach it.
وَضَمِنَ — and assured. The wa- restarts the narrative with a new sentence, and what follows is a past-tense verb of assuring whose doer comes right after it. Arabic typically leads with the verb and then names the subject, so the act of assuring is stated before we learn who assured.
From: The Four Inner Guards →OpenArabic teaches words like ضَمِنَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
