How to say “prayer” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
حَتَّى فَاتَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ،
Until he missed the prayer.
الصَّلَاةُ — the prayer. This is the subject of the verb just before it: 'the prayer', which slipped away from the man. It carries the plain subject ending, and its feminine gender is what made that verb take its feminine ending. Its al- (assimilating into the sun letter) marks the specific prayer he set out for.
