Arabic vocabulary
How to say “sky” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُك عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتنِي غَفَرْتُ لَك،
O son of Adam! If your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you were to ask for My forgiveness, I would forgive you.
ٱلسَّمَاءِ — the sky. Second in the 'reaches of the sky' pairing, so it takes the possessive -i and supplies the owner. Its 'the' makes the whole phrase definite — the sky's own height.
