More example sentences
العاقل ينظر في العواقب،
The wise person considers the consequences,
الْعَوَاقِبِ the consequences
The object of 'into', so it takes the possessive case, and 'the' marks the known set of outcomes. As a plural it gathers all the consequences being weighed.
العاقل يرى بنور فكره عواقب الأمور قبل وقوعها، فيتجنب ما يخاف سوء عاقبته، ويسارع إلى ما يرجو حسن عاقبته
"The wise person sees, with the light of his thought, the consequences of matters before they occur. He avoids what he fears will have a bad outcome, and hastens toward what he hopes will have a good outcome."
عَوَاقِبَ the consequences
This is the first half of 'consequences of matters' and the object of 'sees', so it stands in the object case. It owns the link with the noun after it and gives up its own 'the', taking definiteness from that following noun. This plural has a special shape that blocks the usual full case ending.
