Example sentences
أحدهما أنه هو المعهود من طريقة القرآن من الاستدلال بالمبدأ على المعاد
One is that it is the established method in the Quran to infer the resurrection from the creation.
بِالمَبْدَأ — from the creation. This fuses 'with/by' onto 'the starting-point/creation', genitive after the preposition. It marks the basis of the inferring, 'by means of the origin', the thing reasoned from. The contracted spelling drops a final vowel-mark before the next word.
