صَوَّرَshape

Example sentences

• يصوركم في الأرحام ولا يدرى آدم ولا حواء،

  He shapes you in the wombs, and neither Adam nor Eve knows.

  يُصَوِّرُكُمْ — He shapes you. This is a present-tense verb with a built-in 'he' subject, and a 'you-all' object pronoun is fused to its end. So one word means 'he shapes you', packing the divine doer, the ongoing action, and the plural human object into a single form, where English needs three words.

• الحمد لله الذي صور الصور وما باشر ولا مس،

  Praise be to Allah, who shaped the forms without touching or contacting.

  صَوَّرَ — he shaped. A past-tense verb with the doer 'He' built into its form, so no separate pronoun appears. The doubled middle consonant marks an intensive shaping verb, and the completed past presents the forming as a finished divine act.
