Arabic vocabulary
How to say “right-hand” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فيقال يا محمد أدخل من أمتك من لا حساب عليهم من الباب الأيمن من أبواب الجنة وهم شركاء الناس فيما سوى ذلك من الأبواب
It will be said: "O Muhammad, admit into Paradise from your community those who will not be held accountable, through the right-hand gate of the gates of Paradise, and they will share with the people in what is beyond that from the other gates."
الْأَيْمَنِ — right-hand. A describing word agreeing with 'the gate' before it, carrying its own 'the' to match, so it reads 'the right-hand (gate)'; Arabic makes an adjective echo its noun's definiteness and case. It pins down which gate.
From: The Prophet's Intercession →OpenArabic teaches words like أَيْمَن through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
