أَعْلَمْknow

Example sentences

• وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَهَانَ لِي وَلِيًّا أَوْ أَخَافَهُ فَقَدْ بَارَزَنِي بِالْمُحَارَبَةِ وَبَارَانِي،

  And know that whoever insults for me a close ally or frightens him, has thereby declared war against me and has contended with me.

  وَاعْلَمْ — and know. This is a command verb, 'know', with the 'and' connector (wa-) fused to its front. The wa- links the instruction to the surrounding speech, and the imperative directs the listener to take the following statement seriously. So one word both connects and orders.
