Example sentences

• بَلْ أَمْرُهُمْ كَانَ بِالضِّدِّ مِنْ أَمْرِ الرَّسُولِ، كَفِرْعَوْنَ وَنَمْرُودَ وَأَضْرَابِهِمَا

  Rather, their matter was the opposite of that of the Messenger’s, like Pharaoh, Nimrod, and their like.

  كَفِرْعَوْنَ — like Pharaoh. This is a proper name with the comparison particle 'like' fused to its front, 'like Pharaoh'. The particle sets up a likeness, attaching directly onto the name as Arabic does; the name takes the form that particle governs.
