Example sentences

فَقَالَ هَلْ أَنْتَ ذَاهِبٌ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ مَا بِي أَنْ أَقْتُلَ
He said, "Are you going?" I said, "By God, I have no intention of killing."
أَقْتُلَ — kill. This verb sits in its 'aim' (subjunctive) shape because the particle just before it forces that ending, marking the action as an intended goal, not something happening. Its 'I' doer is built into the prefix. Reading the special ending is how you know this is the purpose being denied.
