Example sentences

• فَاللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ

  So Allah is the one whose help is sought concerning what you describe.

  الْمُسْتَعَانُ — the one whose help is sought. A passive participle: it names the one to whom an action is done rather than one who does it, so it means 'the one whose help is sought', not 'one who seeks'. Carrying al- ('the'), it stands as the definite predicate identifying God as the one appealed to.
