Example sentences
وَلَا أُيِّدُوا وَنُصِرُوا وَلَا ظَهَرَتْ عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمُ الْآيَاتُ، وَلَا صَدَّقَهُمُ الرَّبُّ تَعَالَى بِإِقْرَارِهِ وَلَا بِفِعْلِهِ وَلَا بِقَوْلِهِ
They were neither supported nor aided, nor did signs appear by their hands, nor did the Lord, Exalted be He, affirm them by His acknowledgment, action, or speech.
الرَّبُّ — the Lord. This noun carries 'the' and is the doer of the affirming verb just before it, arriving after the verb in normal Arabic order. It names the Lord as the one who did not confirm the kings.
