Example sentences

• كذلك مَنْ جَالَس الصائم انتفع بمجالسته له،

  Similarly, those who sit with the fasting person benefit from his company,

  كَذَٰلِكَ — like that. 'Like that', drawing the comparison home — just so. It applies the scent-image to the faster's companions.

• كَذَٰلِكَ فَيَقُولُونَ

  Thus they will say.

  كَذَلِكَ — thus. A demonstrative adverb meaning 'in that way', built from a 'like' element plus a 'that' pointer, so it reaches back and compares the coming action to what was just described. It sets the manner for the clause that follows rather than naming a thing, anchoring 'thus' to the prior scene.

• وَلَيْسَ كَذَٰلِكَ؛ لِأَنَّ مِثْلُ الطَّبْعِ فِي مَيْلِهِ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا كَالْمَاءِ الْجَارِيِ،

  But that is not so; for the disposition, in its inclination toward the world, is like flowing water,

  كَذَٰلِكَ — like that. A pointing word built from the comparison prefix ka- ('like') plus a 'that' demonstrative, giving 'like that'. It serves as the predicate that the preceding 'is not' denies, so the pair reads 'it is not like that'.
