Arabic vocabulary
فَوَاللَّهِ is how you say “so by God” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَوَاللَّهِ مَا قَامَ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ
By God, none of us stood up.
فَوَاللَّهِ — so by God. This packs the connector 'so' with an oath formula calling God to witness. The connector ties the statement to what came before, while the oath part raises the emphasis, lending the following denial real weight. Such oath openers are a stock way of underlining a claim before stating it.
