عَدْلjust

Example sentences

• ومن اتقى الله فيها وكتب لقضاة العدل وباشر الأيتام والصدقات ومال الأوقاف والمدارس ولزم الأمانة واتقى فيه فهذا محمود مأجور بنيته،

  Whoever fears Allah in it, writes for just judges, handles the affairs of orphans and charities, manages endowment and school funds, and adheres to honesty, such a person is praised and rewarded for his intention.

  الْعَدْلِ — just. This completes 'the judges of justice', in the genitive as owner — i.e. fair, upright judges. Arabic builds 'just judges' as 'judges of justice', an 'of' pairing rather than an adjective. The owner-noun ends the chain.
