Example sentences

فَلَمَّا تَرَقَّوا فَعَاقُوا وَالْعُقُوقُ مِنَ الْذُّنُوبِ الْكِبَارِ،
When they grew tender, they were ungrateful, and ingratitude is among the major sins,
الْكِبَارِ — the major. Carries al- ('the') and is a describing word for the sins before it — 'the major'. As an adjective it trails its noun and copies its definiteness and genitive case, which is why it too is definite and genitive. It restricts the class to the gravest sins, placing ingratitude among them.
