Example sentence

فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمُرُّ كَالْبَرْقِ،

So among them are those who pass like lightning.

كَالْبَرْقِ like lightning

The comparison particle ka- ('like') fused with the definite noun 'the lightning', forming a simile in one word. The ka- sets up a likeness, and it forces the noun into the genitive ending. The al- on the noun blends in sound into the next consonant, a normal assimilation not shown in writing.
