Arabic vocabulary
How to say “outweigh” in Arabic, with pronunciation and real example sentences from OpenArabic texts.
لذلك جاء في القرآن ﴿فَمَنْ ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ﴾، ولم يقل من رجحت سيئاته؛ لأن السيئات لا تُعطي صاحبها وزنًا محمودًا، بل تُسقطه
Therefore, it is mentioned in the Quran: 'So those whose scales are heavy, they are the successful ones,' and it does not say: 'whose bad deeds outweigh,' because bad deeds do not give their owner a praiseworthy weight; rather, they bring him down.
رَجَحَتْ — outweigh. Past 'outweighed, tipped the scale', with the -at marking feminine agreement with 'his bad deeds' that follows.
From: Small Deeds, Great Reward →إن رجحت سيئاته عوقب بقدْرها،
If his bad deeds outweigh, he will be punished proportionally,
رَجَحَتْ — outweigh. Past 'outweighed, tipped', the -at marking feminine agreement with 'his bad deeds' that follows; verb-first.
From: When Hidden Deeds Are Shown →لَا يُوزَنُ بِهِ رِجْلٌ إِلَّا رَجَحَ بِهِ
No leg is weighed with it without tipping the balance.
رَجَحَ — tipped the balance. A past-tense verb describing the tipping of the scale, with its doer ('it') built into the verb shape. It supplies the outcome that the exception word before it sets up, so it completes the 'except that it outweighs' contrast.
From: The Prophet's Marriage to Khadijah →OpenArabic teaches words like رَجَحَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
