Arabic vocabulary
How to say “punish” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
كَمَا أَنَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَاتَ مُؤْمِنًا فَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ عُذِّبَ بِالنَّارِ
Just as whoever believes in Allah and dies as a believer is among the companions of Paradise, even if he is punished by the Fire.
عُذِّبَ — he is punished. A passive verb, 'he is punished', whose inner vowels are reshaped so the man receives the action with no named punisher. Arabic marks the passive by the vowel pattern itself.
From: The Sin of Idolatry →OpenArabic teaches words like عُذِّبَ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
