تَدَبَّرَreflect

Example sentences

• وَأَنت إِذا تدبرت الْقُرْآن وأجرته من التحريف

  And when you reflect on the Quran and protect it from distortion,

  تَدَبَّرْتَ — you reflect. A past-tense reflexive-shape (form V) verb 'pondered deeply' with the '-ta' (you) ending; Arabic uses the past form inside such 'when' clauses for a general truth. The reflexive shape marks turning the meaning over for oneself.

• أجل فكرك في أركانك وتدبر بناء بنانك ويكفي في العبر نطق لسانك كلما تلوى،

  Reflect on your own limbs and consider the construction of your fingertips; it is enough as a lesson that your tongue speaks whenever it turns.

  وَتَدَبَّرْ — and consider. The attached connector adds a second order parallel to the first. The rest is a command form to 'you', so it directs the listener to also ponder, joined evenly to the earlier instruction.
