Example sentence

قَالَ تَعَالَى وَمَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ خَالِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا

He (Allah) said: 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide in it, and Allah's wrath is upon him, and He has cursed him and prepared for him a great punishment.'

يَقْتُلْ he kills

A present-tense verb 'kills' shifted into the clipped jussive shape, triggered by the conditional 'whoever' before it. That shortened ending is how a listener knows this is the condition of a general rule, not a statement of fact. The 'he' subject is inside the verb; it states the supposed act on which the verdict hangs.
