جِنْسkind, class

Example sentences

• لِيَزُولَ عَنْ الطَّالِبِ لِلْهِدَايَةِ وَسُلُوكِ الصِّرَاطِ وَحْشَةُ تَفَرُّدِهِ عَنْ أَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ وَبَنُو جِنْسِهِ،

  So that the seeker of guidance and follower of the path may be freed from the fear of being singled out from his contemporaries and peers.

  جِنْسِهِ — his kind. This noun completes the pairing 'the members of his kind' and carries -hi ('his'), so it closes the second contrast group. The attached possessor makes 'his kind' the owner term of the 'of' relationship. Together with the previous word it means his peers, the people of his own sort.

• فَجِنْسُ الْمَحَبَّةِ يَكُونُ لِلَّهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ كَالطَّاعَةِ

  So the kind of love is for God and for His Messenger, like obedience.

  فَجِنْسُ — so the kind. The fa- here means 'so/then', drawing a conclusion from the preceding argument, and it fronts the noun that is the subject of the coming 'to be' verb. The prefix ties this summary statement to what came before, while the noun opens the new topic, the category of love.
