إِنَّindeed

Example sentences

• فإنه يورث أمراضا في القلوب،

  For indeed it causes diseases in the hearts.

  فَإِنَّهُ — for indeed it. This couples 'for' giving a reason with the emphatic 'inna' that asserts the explanation and pins its subject, here the attached pronoun 'it', into the accusative. So the word both connects causally and adds emphasis, with its subject riding in as a suffix.

• فإن النفس أمارة بالسوء، تميل إلى الشهوات، وتأنف من التكاليف، وتفر من المشاق

  For the self is inclined to evil, leans towards desires, resents obligations, and flees from hardships.

  فَإِنَّ — for indeed. The fa- opens the explanation, and the particle joined to it is the heavy emphasizer 'indeed', which presents the statement as a firm fact. That particle also forces the noun right after it into the object case, so the following 'the self' takes that ending despite reading as the subject.

  From: Struggling Against the Self →

• فاقتدهِد في كسر شَهَواتها، وحملها على ما يرضي ربك، واصبر على ذلك، فإن العاقبة حميدة

  فَإِنَّ — for indeed. The fa- opens the closing reason, and the particle with it is the heavy emphasizer 'indeed', presenting the statement as a firm fact. That emphasizer forces the noun right after it into the object case, so the following 'outcome' takes that ending despite reading as the subject.

• فذهب إلى الوزير وقال له إني اشتريت قصرًا في الجنة بعشرين ألف درهم

  So he went to the minister and said to him: I have bought a palace in Paradise for twenty thousand dirhams.

  From: The Reward of Giving →

• فإن الأذن مجة والقلب حمض

  For the ear grows bored and the heart grows weary

  فَإِنَّ — so indeed. This is fa- 'for/so' plus the emphatic 'indeed' particle; it launches the reason clause and grips the following noun into the accusative, the dedicated opener English renders with 'truly'.

• فقال الأعرابي إنه يطلب ثمن ما أكلت ناقتي

  إِنَّهُ — indeed he. This is the emphasis particle 'indeed' fused with the attached pronoun 'he', referring to the neighbor. The particle adds force to the statement and the merged pronoun is its subject. The 'he' tracks back to the neighbor, not the speaker, which matters for who is making the demand.

  فَإِنَّ — so indeed. 'Fa-' here gives a reason-and-emphasis opening, fused to the emphatic 'inna'. 'Fa-' connects this as an explanation of the prior verdict, while 'inna' strongly affirms the statement that follows and forces the noun right after it into the accusative.

  From: Aisha Cleared of Slander →

• فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ مَا غَوَّايَتُهُمْ بِالْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا كَغَوَّايَةِ الْمُصَارِعِ وَالسَّاعِيِ وَلاَعِبِ الْحَمَّامِ،

  For indeed these people, their misguidance by hadith is no more than the misguidance of the wrestler, the runner, and the pigeon-player.

  فَإِنَّ — for indeed. Two pieces here: a 'for/indeed' connector tying this to the prior point, and the heavy emphasis word that English renders 'indeed/truly'. That emphasis particle grips the noun after it into the accusative and stresses the whole statement, lending it the force of a firm assertion.

  From: Humility Over Fame →

  Then he said, 'He killed one hundred people.'

  إِنَّهُ — that he. This fuses the emphasizer 'inna' (indeed/that) with the attached '-hu' (he), opening the reported clause. 'Inna' lends weight to the statement and takes '-hu' as the topic it strengthens, so the quoted speech begins emphatically with 'indeed he...'.

'Inna' strengthens the statement to come and, in its hallmark way, forces the noun right after it into the object-style (accusative) ending even as that noun heads the sentence.

  From: The Joy of Repentance →

• فَقَالَ تَعَالَىٰ وَإِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَتَتَّقُوا لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ

  From: Patience and God's Help →

  فَإِنَّهَا — so indeed they. Three pieces fused: the connective fa- ('so'), the emphatic particle inna ('indeed'), and an attached feminine pronoun ('they'). The fa- draws the conclusion, and inna adds firm emphasis, presenting what follows as certain. The feminine pronoun points back to the plural doubts-and-desires, a plural that Arabic can treat as feminine.
