يُعْرَفis known

Example sentences

• وأما تفسيره للعلماء فجائز حسن والاجماع منعقد عليه فمن كان أهلا للتفسير جامعا للأدوات حتى التي يعرف بها معناه وغلب على ظنه المراد فسره

  As for interpretation by scholars, it is permissible and good, and consensus is established on it. Whoever is qualified for interpretation, possessing the necessary tools — including those by which its meaning is known — and the intended meaning is most likely in their view, then they may interpret it.

  يُعْرَفُ — is known. A passive verb — 'is known' — with no doer named; attention falls on the meaning being grasped, not on who grasps it. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the vowels inside the verb, not by adding a helper word.
