وَاقِعreal

Example sentences

• وهو سبحانه إنما يستدل على أمر واقع ولا بد إما قد وقع ووجد أو سيقع

  And He, glorified be He, uses evidence only for an actual matter that must have either already occurred or will occur.

  وَاقِعٍ — that is actual. This is an active participle, a doer-noun meaning 'occurring' or 'real', describing the matter before it. It is indefinite to agree with that noun, and it works like an adjective: Arabic builds such describing words off verbs, so this one literally names the matter as one that takes place.

  From: Ten Proofs of Resurrection →

• وسكوت هذا الواقع في البئر محظور عليه،

  And the silence of this man in the well is prohibited for him,

  الوَاقِعِ — the one who fell. This is an active participle used as a noun, 'the one who fell', owning the earlier 'silence' to close that pairing, so it takes the governed ending. The 'the' makes it the specific fallen man.

  From: Trust in God →
