اسْتِعَانَةseeking help

Example sentences

• والاستعانة بالله العظيم في آناء الليل والنهار ،

  And seeking help from the Almighty God during the night and the day,

  وَالِاسْتِعَانَةُ — and the seeking help. This is the bound wa- 'and' plus al- 'the' plus an action-noun, 'and the seeking of help', coordinated onto the previous 'much supplication'. As a verb turned noun it names the act of asking aid, and the wa- joins it as a further part of the path; it serves as a subject-like topic.

  And reliance and seeking help are for the servant because they are the means and the path through which he attains his goals and desires in worship.

  وَالاسْتِعَانَةُ — and the seeking of help. The 'and' prefix joins a second subject, and this noun also carries 'the'. A coordinated noun keeps the same case as the one it is joined to, so it shares the subject ending, adding seeking-help alongside reliance.
