Example sentences

• وتعرّف رب الْعِزَّة إِلَى المحبين بأسمائه وَصِفَاته

  And the Lord of Majesty introduced Himself to the lovers through His names and attributes.

  بِأَسْمَائِهِ — through His names. 'Bi-' (through / by) fused with a broken plural 'names' plus '-hi' (His) attached, genitive — 'by His names'. The 'bi-' marks the means of the self-revealing.

• أصول الدين هو اسم عظيم،

  'The Fundamentals of Religion' is a great name,

  اِسْمٌ — name. This indefinite noun is the predicate — 'is a name'. Being the fresh comment, it stays indefinite, and the 'is' goes unwritten. The sentence simply rates the title as a weighty 'name'.

• وأما العرف في هذا الاسم فهو مختلف باختلاف النحل

  As for the custom with this name, it varies according to the differences in sects.

  الاِسْمِ — name. Genitive after the preposition, this is the noun the demonstrative points at — 'name'. Together they are 'this name', the term whose customary use is being weighed. The shared genitive marks them as one unit governed by 'in'.

  From: Scripture Over Speculation →

• وَعَلَّمَكَ أَسْمَاءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ،

  And He taught you the names of all things,

  أَسْمَاءَ — names. A plural noun standing as the second object of the teaching verb, the content learned. Its case-ending marks it as acted-upon, and it lacks 'the' here because it heads a possessive pairing, drawing its definiteness from the words that follow. So it leans forward to 'of all things' to be complete.
