Example sentence

اعْلَم يَا أخي أَن العَبْد إِذا اعْتصمَ بِحَبل السُّلْطَان الْمَخْلُوق سلم من شَرّ الظَّالِمين

Know, my brother, that if a servant clings to the rope of the created ruler, he is safe from the evil of the oppressors.

سَلِمَ was safe

This past-tense verb delivers the result of the earlier 'if', with its 'he' subject built in. Arabic answers a condition with a plain completed-action verb and no separate word for 'then he', so the consequence rides on the verb alone.
