أَنْهَارُrivers

Example sentences

• لِلَّذِينَ اِتَّقَوْا عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ

  For those who were conscious of their Lord, there will be gardens beneath which rivers flow.

  الْأَنْهَارُ — the rivers. Carries al- ('the') and is the delayed subject of 'flows' — the rivers, named after their verb in the normal Arabic order. Because they are a non-human plural, the verb earlier took its feminine-singular shape to agree. The plural is formed with an added ending. They are what courses beneath the gardens.
