Arabic vocabulary
أَعْجَازٍ is how you say “outward things” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَتَمَسَّكُوا بِأَعْجَازٍ لَا صُدُورَ لَهَا،
And they clung to outward things that had no inner substance.
بِأَعْجَازٍ — to outward things. This is the preposition bi- ('to/onto') fused to an indefinite plural noun; bi- governs it in the genitive. With the verb 'clung' before it, the bi- marks WHAT they clung to, 'clung TO outward husks'. The plural pictures empty outer shells, set up for the contrast that follows.
From: Ignoring God's Guidance →OpenArabic teaches words like أَعْجَازٍ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
