اسْتَوَىrose

Example sentences

• أيها الناس، إن الله خلق السموات والأرض في ستة أشهر، ثم استوى على العرش

  O people, indeed Allah created the heavens and the earth in six months, then rose over the Throne.

  اسْتَوَى — He rose. Past-tense 'he rose, settled', the 'he' subject built into the verb. It is the verb of the new clause introduced by 'then'. It reaches its destination through a preposition rather than a direct object, which is why a preposition follows.
