Arabic vocabulary
مُطِيع is how you say “obedient” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فمن كان مطيعًا لله، خرج من قبره مسرورًا مستبشرًا، ووجهه أبيض نير
So whoever was obedient to Allah, he will emerge from his grave joyful and glad, with a bright, radiant face.
مُطِيعًا — obedient. This is the predicate of 'was', an active participle meaning 'obedient', so the being-verb puts it in the object case. With no 'the' it stays indefinite, describing the state the person was in.
