Example sentence

خُلاصةُ الطريق أصلان أن تُعبَدَ اللهُ وحده، وأن تُعبَدَه بما شَرَع

The essence of the path is two principles: that you worship Allah alone, and that you worship Him with what He has prescribed.

أَصْلَانِ two principles

The DUAL — 'two foundations', a form English has to spell out with 'two'. Arabic instead folds 'exactly two' into the noun's own -ani ending; it stands here as the nominative predicate, 'are two roots'.
