Example sentences

• قَالَ تَعَالَى وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا

  He (Allah) said: 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide in it, and Allah's wrath is upon him, and He has cursed him and prepared for him a great punishment.'

  مُتَعَمِّدًا — intentionally. An active participle 'doing on purpose' used as a circumstantial description in the accusative form - it tells the manner in which the killing is done, 'intentionally'. Arabic uses such an accusative participle to paint the state surrounding the verb. It is grammatically crucial: it limits the ruling to deliberate killing.
