Example sentences

• وَمَنْ يَحُوْلُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ التَّوْبَةِ؟

  And who could come between him and repentance?

  التَّوْبَةِ — repentance. This noun carries 'al-' (the) and is the second pole of the 'between X and Y' frame, governed by the 'between' before it and so in the 'of...' (genitive) shape. Definite and specific, it names repentance as the thing nothing could bar the man from reaching.
