وَعْظٌpreaching

Example sentences

• الوعظ فن بذاته يحتاج إلى مشاركة جيدة في العلم،

  Preaching is an art in itself that requires a good share of knowledge.

  الْوَعْظُ — preaching. This is the topic of an equational sentence — one with no verb for 'is'. Arabic simply lines up a subject and a description and lets the reader supply 'is' between them. The attached 'the' presents preaching as an abstract whole, the thing about to be defined.

• فاعلم أن وعظه لا يتجاوز الأسماع،

  Then know that his preaching does not go beyond the ears,

  وَعْظَهُ — his preaching. This noun with attached 'his' is the subject of the 'that'-clause, but it wears an accusative ending because the particle before it forced that case — not because it is an object. It is the doer of 'does not go beyond'. The attached pronoun points back to the worldly preacher.

• يَنَهَلُونَ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ وَوَعْظِهِ وَتَذْكِيرِهِ خَاصَّتَهُمْ وَعَامَّتَهُمْ،

  Both the elite and the common people drew from his knowledge, his preaching, and his reminders,

  وَعْظِهِ — and his preaching. A noun with the 'his' suffix, joined by wa- as the second item in the list of sources drawn from. The wa- here is a plain list-linker, adding this to the preceding 'his knowledge' under the same 'from'. It shares that preposition's genitive without repeating it.
