Arabic vocabulary
How to say “Prophet” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
كنت رديفا للنَّبِي على حمَار
I was a riding partner of the Prophet on a donkey
لِلنَّبِيِّ — for the Prophet. Here the 'for/to' prefix is attached to a noun carrying 'the', and that preposition forces the noun into the genitive case. It sets up the relationship of belonging or attachment, marking the Prophet as the one the rider was paired with.
From: Worship and Repentance →OpenArabic teaches words like نَبِيِّ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
