Arabic vocabulary
رَغَم is how you say “oppose” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فمن أراد صلاح نفسه، فليجاهدها جهادًا طويلاً، وليصبر على مراغمتها
So whoever wants to reform himself, let him strive against it with a long struggle, and be patient in opposing it.
مُرَاغَمَتِهَا — its opposition. This is the object of 'over', so it stands in the possessive case, a verbal noun meaning 'the opposing of it', with -ha 'it' attached forming an 'of' link. The 'it' points back to the self, naming the friction one endures in resisting it.
