Example sentences

فَمَتَى رَأَيْتَ مُعَاقِبًا؛ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لِذُنُوبٍ
So when you see someone being punished, know that it is because of sins.
لِذُنُوبٍ — because of sins. The 'li-' at the front is causal, 'because of / on account of', and it governs the noun after it into the 'of'-style ending. Left indefinite, that noun means 'sins' in general. So the bundle delivers the lesson: whatever punishment you see traces back to sins.
