Example sentences

• وَطَرِيقُهُمَا بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنْ سُنَنِ السَّلَفِ الصَّالِحِ،

  And their path is apart from the practices of the pious predecessors,

  بِمَعْزِلٍ — in isolation. A 'bi-' prefix fronts an indefinite noun to set up the predicate 'in isolation', stating where their path stands. The prefix governs the noun into the dependent form, and the bare, no-'the' shape keeps it general, an unspecified state of being apart.
