وَعْدَpromise

Example sentences

• قَالَ تَعَالَىٰ ﴿فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ﴾

  Allah, the Exalted, said: "So be patient; indeed, the promise of Allah is true, and seek forgiveness for your sin."

  وَعْدَ — the promise. A noun 'promise' that is the first half of an 'of' possessive pair and wears the object-like ending assigned by the 'indeed' particle before it. It waits for its owner-noun to complete 'the promise of …', built by bare adjacency.
