مَلَذَّاتpleasures

Example sentences

• وذكر كذلك الذين اتخذوا العلم وسيلة وغرضا لتحصيل ملذات الدنيا وحطامها الفاني،

  He also mentioned those who took knowledge as a means and a goal to acquire the pleasures of the fleeting world and its perishable goods.

  مَلَذَّاتِ — the pleasures. This noun owns nothing by itself here; it is the first part of a possessive pair, 'the pleasures of the world', linked directly to the next noun with no word for 'of'. Its form shows it is governed by the purpose-marker on the previous word.
