Example sentences
أَيْنَمَا لقيتموهم فاقتلوهم
Wherever you encounter them, then kill them.
اقْتُلُوهُمْ — kill them. This is a command verb addressed to 'you all', with an attached 'them' as its object, so one word orders 'kill them'. Arabic builds the command by paring the verb to a short stem, which is the form delivering the order here.
