Example sentence

وَقَدْ يُهَانُ الشَّيْخُ فِي كِبْرِهِ حَتَّى تَرْحَمُهُ الْقُلُوبُ،

An old man may be humiliated in his old age until people's hearts have mercy on him.

يُهَانُ may be humiliated

This is the passive form: the old man is the one humiliated, he does not do the humiliating; others bring it on him. Arabic marks the passive by changing the vowels inside the verb, not by adding a word like 'is', so the form sits close to its active twin but reverses the roles. Softened by the earlier 'may', it reads as a possible fate.
