حَرَمsanctuary

Example sentences

• وَاجْعَلْ لَنَا بَيْتًا مَحْجُوجًا وَحَرَمًا آمِنًا،

  And make for us a well-protected house and a safe sanctuary,

  وَحَرَمًا — and a sanctuary. Front wa- is the joiner 'and', pairing this requested item with the 'house' before it. The noun is indefinite and sits in the object slot of the same command verb, so the prayer asks for 'a house... and a sanctuary' as two linked objects.
