Example sentence

فَمَثَلِي وَمَثَلُكُمْ كَمَثَلِ يَعْقُوبَ وَبَنِيهِ،

My example and your example are like the example of Jacob and his sons.

فَمَثَلِي so my example

Here fa- is a light discourse 'so', easing into the comparison rather than marking a sharp consequence, and it sits on a noun ('example') carrying the -i 'my' ending. That possessive suffix attaches the noun to the speaker, setting up the first side of the 'my case versus yours' contrast.

مَثَلِي like me
