بُرْهَانproof

Example sentences

• فَبِضِدِّهَا تَتَبَيَّنُ الْأَشْيَاءُ، وَالضِّدُّ يُظْهِرُ حُسْنَهُ الضِّدُّ، فَمَعْرِفَةُ أَدِلَّةِ الْبَاطِلِ وَشُبَهِهِ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ أَدِلَّةِ الْحَقِّ وَبَرَاهِينِهِ

  For by their opposites things become clear, and the opposite shows the beauty of its opposite; so knowing the evidence of falsehood and its doubts is itself a type of evidence for truth and its proofs.

  وَبَرَاهِينِهِ — and its proofs. The wa- adds a matching item, a noun meaning demonstrations with an attached pronoun, 'and its proofs', sharing the chain. Coordinated with 'proofs of truth', it rounds off the category; the pronoun points to truth.
