How to say “lordship” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
وَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ تَحْقِيق تَوْحِيد الربوبية وتوحيد الإلهية
Rather, he intended to realize tawhid al-rububiyyah (unity of lordship) and tawhid al-uluhiyyah (unity of worship).
الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ — lordship. Genitive, closing the chain: the unity 'of lordship' — God's being the sole Lord who creates and sustains. The -iyya ending builds an abstract noun, like English '-ship' or '-ness'.
From: Worship God Alone →وكل من ذلك آية من آيات الله تعالى الدالة على ربوبيته
And each of these is a sign of the signs of Allah, the Exalted, indicating His Lordship.
رُبُوبِيَّتِهِ — His Lordship. A noun 'His lordship' with an attached 'His' ending naming God as the one whose lordship it is, held in the genitive by the preceding 'upon'. The single word carries the abstract quality and its owner.
From: Oaths of Provision →فأقسم سبحانه بالسماء ذات المطر والأرض ذات النبات وكل من ذلك آية من آيات الله تعالى الدالة على ربوبيته
So He, the Exalted, swore by the sky with its rain and the earth with its plants, and each of these is a sign of Allah's lordship.
رُبُوبِيَّتِهِ — His lordship. A noun 'His lordship' with an attached 'His' ending naming God as its owner, held in the genitive by the preceding 'upon'. The single word carries the abstract quality and its possessor.
From: Signs of Resurrection →وكل من ذلك آية من آيات الله تعالى الدالة على ربوبيته
Each of these is a sign from the signs of Allah, the Exalted, indicating His Lordship.
رُبُوبِيَّتِهِ — His Lordship. This pairs the noun 'lordship' with an attached 'his', genitive after the preposition. The attached owner is God, so the phrase means 'His lordship', what the signs point to. The -iyya ending builds an abstract quality-noun, like English '-ship'.
From: Oaths That Seal the Truth →وكل ذلك من آيات قدرته وربوبيته
All of these are signs of His power and lordship.
وَرُبُوبِيَّتِهِ — and His lordship. An 'and' fused to a noun 'lordship' with a 'his' ending, a second owning noun joined to the chain, 'and His lordship'. It stands in the owner form and the suffix again points to God, pairing two divine attributes as what the signs point to.
