Arabic vocabulary
How to say “oppose” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
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.
