Example sentences

• يَنْبَغِيَ أَلَّا يَقْصُرَ الإِنسَانُ فِي رِعَايَةِ حَقِّهِ

  One should not be negligent in safeguarding his right.

  يَنْبَغِيَ — one ought. An impersonal verb of obligation meaning roughly 'it ought / is fitting', with no real personal subject — it states what should be the case in general. It heads the sentence and sets up a 'that ...' clause to follow, where the actual content of the obligation is spelled out. The final vowel reflects its place before that clause.

• فَيَنْبَغِيَ لِلْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَذْكُرَ مَنَنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ

  Therefore, the servant ought to acknowledge the favors that Allah, the Exalted, has bestowed upon him.

  فَيَنْبَغِيَ — so ought to. This is the connector 'so/therefore' fused onto a verb of obligation; the prefix draws a conclusion from what came before. The verb states that something is fitting or due, and it leads into a 'for-whom' phrase next.
