يُشِيرpointed

Example sentences

• التقوى ههنا، ويشير إلى صدره بحسب امرئ من الشر أن يحقر أخاه المسلم،

  Taqwa is here, 'and he pointed to his chest.' It is enough of a sin for a person to belittle his Muslim brother.

  وَيُشِيرُ — and he pointed. This is wa- (and) on a present-tense verb, 'and he points', with the 'he' doer built into the shape. The present form here narrates an action vividly even though the surrounding story is past; Arabic often shifts into the present to make a remembered scene feel live.
