Arabic vocabulary
رَاد is how you say “means” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وأمثال ذَلِك مِمَّا اسْتعْمل فِيهِ لفظ الْكَلِمَة من الْكتاب وَالسّنة بل وَسَائِر كَلَام الْعَرَب فَإِنَّمَا يُرَاد بِهِ الْجُمْلَة التَّامَّة
And similar uses of the term 'word' in the Book and the Sunnah, as well as in the rest of Arabic speech, refer to a complete sentence.
يُرَادُ — is intended. PASSIVE present — 'is meant, intended', not 'means'. The inner-vowel shape marks the passive; no named doer.
