Arabic vocabulary
How to say “reading” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
مَا علمت أَن أحدا سمع بِالْجنَّةِ وَالنَّار تَأتي عَلَيْهِ سَاعَة لَا يُطِيع الله فِيهَا بذكرا وَصَلَاة أَو قراة أَو إِحْسَان
I have not known anyone who has heard of Paradise and Hell to have an hour pass without obeying God through remembrance, prayer, reading, or charity.
قِرَاءَةٍ — reading. Still governed by the earlier 'by', this indefinite noun stays genitive. It names reading, understood as reciting scripture, as another way the hour is given to obedience.
From: Contentment with What God Wills →OpenArabic teaches words like قِرَاءَة through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
