Example sentences

• يبحثُ عن مساحاتِ الاتفاق ليجعلها أرضيةً للحوار، ثم يقتربُ من مواضعِ النزاع ببطءٍ وبينةٍ وهدوءٍ، كمن يفتح قفلًا دقيقًا لا كمن يكسر بابًا

  He looks for areas of agreement to make them a foundation for dialogue, then approaches the points of contention slowly, clearly, and calmly, like one opening a delicate lock, not like one breaking a door.

  لِيَجْعَلَهَا — to make them. The 'li-' here is purpose — 'IN ORDER TO make them' — and it forces the verb into the subjunctive. '-ha' is 'them' (the areas of agreement). He seeks common ground SO AS to turn it into a foundation, named next.

  And fear negation, for if it is believed, it harms those who liken, the worshippers of idols, and Ibrahim made them fragments. The deniers infiltrate among you, intermingle and then slip away from you unnoticed.

  يَجْعَلُهُمْ — he makes them. A present-tense verb with the doer 'he' built in and the attached -hum as its object, 'them'. So one word holds 'he makes them', the object pronoun fastened to the back, and the present form vividly narrates a past deed.

  And the Exalted said (in Sūrah al‑Hadīd): “O you who have believed, fear Allah and believe in His Messenger; He will grant you a double portion of His mercy and will make for you a light by which you will walk.”

  وَيَجْعَلُ — and He makes. A connector plus a present verb, 'and He makes', with 'He' built in. The 'and' adds a further divine act; English often renders this present as a future promise.
