Example sentences
وَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ كُدَىٰ،
And the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, entered from Kuda.
النَّبِيُّ — the Prophet. This noun carries the 'the' marker, making it a specific, known title rather than just any man. Following the verb, it names the doer of the entering, so the action that was stated first now gets its actor; Arabic regularly puts the verb before its subject like this.
