Arabic vocabulary
How to say “morals” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
فَقَالَ لَهُ رَأَيْتُهُ يَأْمُرُ بِمَكَارِمِ الْأَخْلاَقِ،
So he said to him, "I saw him enjoining noble character."
الْأَخْلاَقِ — the morals. Carries the attached 'the' and stands as the owner-half of 'the noble traits of character', so its ending takes the possessor case. Set directly after the noun it completes, with no word for 'of', it closes that two-noun pairing.
From: A Stranger Finds the Prophet →وَالْكَرَمُ مِنْ أَخْلاَقِ الْمَلِكِ الْكَرِيمِ
Generosity is one of the attributes of the Generous King.
أَخْلاَقِ — morals. This plural noun sits in the genitive the preposition governs and heads an 'of' pairing with the King: 'the attributes of the King'. As the head term it leans on what follows for definiteness.
From: Charity and Stinginess →وَهُوَ مِنْ أَخْلاَقِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And it is among the moral qualities of the Lord of the Worlds.
أَخْلَاق — moral qualities. This plural noun sits in the genitive the preposition governs and heads an 'of' pairing with the Lord: 'the qualities of the Lord'.
