Arabic vocabulary
How to say “innovation” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَمَا ظَنُّ مَنْ إِنْطَوَتْ سَرِيرَتُهُ عَلَى الْبِدْعَةِ وَالْهَوَّاتِ وَالتَّعَصُّبِ لِلآرَاءِ بِرَبِّهِ يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ؟
So what will become of someone whose inner self has embraced innovation, passions, and stubborn partisanship toward opinions about his Lord on the Day when secrets are exposed?
الْبِدْعَةِ — the innovation. A definite noun, the first item the inner self embraced, genitive because the preceding preposition governs the list. With 'the', it points to religious innovation as a known, named category. It heads the run of three coordinated vices.
