Example sentences
وَلَا مُنْعِمٌ بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ تَعَالَىٰ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ كَالْوَالِدَيْنِ،
And there is no one who bestows favors on a person after the Truth, the Exalted, like the two parents.
كَالْوَالِدَيْنِ — like the two parents. The ka- here is the 'like / as' comparison prefix, fused onto a dual noun carrying al-, so the word means 'like the two parents'. The dual ending folds 'exactly two' into the noun itself, a count English spells out separately. The comparison prefix also pulls the noun into the genitive it governs.
