Example sentences

• وَإِنْتَظَمَ أَوَائِلُ الْآيَاتِ الْمَقْرُوءَاتِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ خُطْبَتِهِ،

  The openings of the recited verses fell into place during his sermon.

  خُطْبَتِهِ — his sermon. A noun 'sermon' with the 'his' suffix attached, the owning term completing 'the course of his sermon', hence the genitive. The possessor points to the imam; the attached pronoun makes the noun definite. It closes the time-construct.

• وَيُورِدُ الْخُطْبَةَ الْغِرَاءَ بِهَا عَجَلًا

  And he quickly delivers the eloquent sermon with it.

  الْخُطْبَةَ — the sermon. This is a feminine noun carrying the al- 'the', so it is fully definite. It is the thing being delivered, the direct object of the verb just before it, and its accusative ending (the -a) is the quiet signal that marks it as the target of the action rather than the doer.
