Example sentence

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

So strive to break its desires, compel it to what pleases your Lord, and be patient with that, for the outcome is praiseworthy.

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.

إِنِّي indeed I

An emphatic 'indeed' particle fused with the attached -i 'I'. It strengthens the claim and grips that 'I' as its accusative subject; English would lean on stress or 'I really did', where Arabic uses this dedicated particle.

From The Reward of Giving

فإن الأذن مجة والقلب حمض

From Stories That Soften the Heart

The Bedouin said: He demands the price of what my camel ate.

إِنَّهُ indeed he

From Justice in the Field

فَإِنَّهُ كَبِيرَةٌ

then it is a major sin.

إِنَّهُ indeed it

فَإِنَّكَ so surely you are

This is the bound fa- 'for, so' plus the emphasiser inna with the attached -ka 'you', 'for surely you are', to a single male. The fa- gives a reason, inna adds a 'truly, indeed' weight, and -ka is its subject; together they launch an emphatic statement about the addressee.

فَإِنَّهُ حَسْبُنَا وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

He is sufficient for us, and the best disposer of affairs.

فَإِنَّهُ so indeed He

Three pieces in one: a 'fa-' drawing a conclusion, an emphatic particle stressing certainty, and '-hu' (He) as the subject it grips. Together they open the closing reason with an 'and indeed He' weight, the pronoun pointing to God.

From Guidance for the Seeker

فَإِنَّ نَقْلَ الْكَلَامِ مِنْ لُغَةٍ إِلَى لُغَةٍ لَا يَتَيَسَّرُ لِكُلِّ أَحَدٍ،

Indeed, translating speech from one language into another is not something everyone can do.

فَإِنَّ so indeed

From The Verse of the Throne

فَإِنَّ الْوَحْيَ لَمْ يَأْتِنِي،

Indeed, the revelation did not come to me.

فَإِنَّ so indeed

Two pieces in one word: a linking fa- giving the reason ('for/so'), and the emphatic 'indeed' particle. The emphasis is grammatical weight thrown onto the whole statement, and the particle also pushes the noun after it into the accusative as the clause's topic.

From Wives of the Prophet

فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُكْثِرِينَ هُمْ الْمُقِلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ،

He said, "Indeed, those who give abundantly will be the few on the Day of Resurrection."

إِنَّ indeed

An emphasis particle, 'indeed/truly', that opens a statement and lends it weight. Its grammatical job is to grip the noun right after it and set up a strong assertion, framing the whole sentence as a firm declaration.

From Paradise for the Sincere

إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ ثَلاَثٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُنَّ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ،

I ask you about three things that no one knows except a prophet.

إِنِّي indeed I

The emphasis-particle fused with an attached 'I', firmly asserting what the speaker is about to do. It braces the coming statement as strongly affirmed, with the suffix naming the first-person subject.

From What Was Created First

قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ لِمَ قَالَتْ إِنَّهُ نَمَّاً ذِكْرَ الْحَدِيثِ

She said, so I said, "Why?" She said, "Indeed he was a slanderer of the mention of the report."

إِنَّهُ indeed he

This fuses the emphasis-particle 'indeed' with an attached -hu ('he'), firmly asserting something about a man. The particle adds insistence and grammatically governs that attached 'he' into the accusative, launching the emphatic statement.

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

فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ مِائَةَ نَفْسٍ

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...'.

From The Joy of Repentance

فَإِنَّ بِهَا أُنَاسًا يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى

Indeed, there are people in it who worship Allah, the Exalted.

فَإِنَّ so indeed

This fuses 'fa-' (so/indeed), tying this to the command just given as its grounds, with the emphasizer 'inna'. '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

Allah, the Exalted, said: If you are patient and are conscious of God, their plotting will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allah encompasses what they do.

إِنَّ indeed

A heavy emphasis particle opening a new noun-sentence and swearing to it ('truly'). It throws the divine name after it into the accusative as its subject, lending the statement certainty.

From Patience and God's Help

فَإِنَّهَا الْكَلَالِيبُ

So indeed they are the hooks.

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.

From The Bridge to Paradise

فَإِنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَانُوا يَقُرُّونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ خَالِقُهُمْ وَرَازِقُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَعْبُدُونَ غَيْرَهُ

The polytheists acknowledged that God was their Creator and Provider, yet they worshipped others besides Him.

فَإِنَّ so indeed

The 'fa-' draws an explanatory link ('for indeed'), fused with the emphasizer 'inna', which forces the noun after it into the accusative. Together they open an emphatic supporting statement.
