وَعْدٌpromise

Example sentences

• اجعل ليلك ميزانًا لنهارك ثلاث دقائق للمحاسبة، دقيقة للاستغفار، ودقيقة لوعدٍ واضح تتعامل معه كعهد

  Make your night a scale for your day: three minutes for accountability, one minute for seeking forgiveness, and one minute for a clear promise you treat as a covenant.

  لِوَعْدٍ — for a promise. 'li-' = 'for'; 'wa'd' = 'promise'. No 'al-', so 'for a promise'.

• فجعلت أن تقول متى تصديقًا لما أتى من الوعد يا فتى،

  So she began to say, 'When will you believe what has come of the promise, O young man?'

  الوَعْدِ — the promise. In the genitive because 'from' governs it, this noun names the source of what came. The 'the' makes it the specific promise in view, completing 'of the promise' and identifying what the good tidings consist of.
