How to say “knowledge” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
فَإِنَّ كَمَالَ عِلْمِهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ وَحِكْمَتِهِ تَأْبَى أَنْ يُقِرَّ مَنْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْهِ وَافْتَرَى عَلَيْهِ وَأَضَلَّ عِبَادَهُ وَاسْتَبَاحَ دِمَاءَ مَنْ كَذَّبَهُ وَحَرِيمَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ،
For His perfect knowledge, power, and wisdom refuse that He would approve of someone who fabricated against Him, misled His servants, justified the bloodshed of those who denied him, their sanctities, and their wealth.
عِلْمِهِ — His knowledge. This pairs the noun 'knowledge' with an attached 'his', closing 'perfection of His knowledge', genitive in the possessive pair. The attached owner is God; the pronoun fixes whose knowledge and lends definiteness to 'perfection'.
From: Proof of the True Messenger →فَلا بُدَّ مَعَ إِخْلَاصِ النِيَّةِ مِنَ العِلْمِ،
So sincerity of intention must be accompanied by knowledge.
العِلْمِ — the knowledge. This definite noun is the object of 'from', so it takes the genitive ending after that relator. Within the 'la budda min' frame it names the indispensable thing: 'knowledge' is what sincerity cannot do without.
From: How the Companions Preserved Hadith →OpenArabic teaches words like عِلْمِ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
