Example sentence

والعاقل من يعمل ليوم المعاد، فيستعد له بالأعمال الصالحة، ليلقى ربه وهو عنه راض

And the wise is the one who works for the Day of Return, preparing for it with righteous deeds, so he meets his Lord and He is pleased with him.

لِيَلْقَى so he meets

The introductory particle here is the 'in order to' marker fused with the verb 'meets', which forces the verb into the subjunctive shape, 'so as to meet'. It marks the meeting as the purpose of the preparing; the 'he' subject is inside the verb.

فَجَعَلَ لَا يَلْقَى أَحَدًا إِلَّا قَالَ كَفَيْتُكُمْ مَا هُنَا

So he arranged that whenever he met anyone, he would say, "I have taken care of you regarding what is here."

يَلْقَى he meets

A present-tense verb with a built-in 'he', describing repeated, habitual meeting rather than one event. The negator before it and the exception after it together frame a 'never...except' pattern.

From A Night with the Prophet

فَلَا يَلْقَى أَحَدًا إِلَّا رَدَّهُ

He would not meet anyone without sending him back.

يَلْقَى he would meet

A present-tense verb with a built-in 'he', read as repeated past habit in the storytelling. Arabic's present can carry this 'used to' sense from context.

From A Night with the Prophet

وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا

And whoever does that will incur sins; the punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide in it abased, except for whoever repented and believed and did a righteous deed.

يَلْقَى he will incur

A present-tense verb 'meet/encounter', here in the conditional answer slot, so it carries the 'then he will meet' sense as the result of the 'whoever does that' condition. Its mood is governed by the conditional frame. Idiomatically 'meet with sins' means he will face their penalty.
