لِقَاءُهُمْmeeting them

Example sentences

• فَإِذَا لِقَاءُهُمْ فَأَخْفِضْ لَهُمْ جَنَاحَكَ وَذَلِّلْ لَهُمْ قَلْبَكَ وَلِسَانَكَ

  So when you meet them, then lower your wing for them and humble your heart and your tongue toward them.

  لِقَاءُهُمْ — meeting them. This is a verbal noun (the action named as a thing) with -hum, the 'them' object, fused to its end, so one word means 'meeting them'. Under the 'when' frame it stands in for a whole timed clause, 'when you meet them'. So an action is packaged as a noun here, with its object built in.
