مُنْعِمٌone who bestows favors

Example sentences

• وَلَا مُنْعِمٌ بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ تَعَالَىٰ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ كَالْوَالِدَيْنِ،

  And there is no one who bestows favors on a person after the Truth, the Exalted, like the two parents.

  مُنْعِمٌ — one who bestows favors. This is an active participle, a 'doer' word for 'one who bestows favors', and it is the thing whose existence is denied by the 'no' before it. Standing under absolute negation it appears in a bare endingless form, the mark of total denial. The sentence then carves out the exception, the parents, later.
