Example sentences

• فأحذر التشبيه عياذا بالله عياذا،

  So beware of likening, seeking refuge with Allah for protection.

  عِيَاذًا — seeking refuge. This noun states the purpose or manner, 'as a seeking of refuge', and its -an ending marks it as this explanatory object. Arabic uses this indefinite form to attach a reason or mode to the action without a separate word for 'as'.

• فأحذر التشبيه عياذا بالله عياذا،

  So beware of likening, seeking refuge with Allah for protection.

  عِيَاذًا — for protection. This repeats the purpose noun, 'for protection', its -an ending again marking it as the explanatory object. Doubling it intensifies the plea, stacking 'seeking refuge ... for protection' to stress the appeal.
