Example sentences

• وَمَنْ لَمْ يَقِفْ عِنْدَ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَنَهْيِهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ

  And whoever does not stand by God's command and prohibition is not among the pious.

  يَقِفْ — he stands. A present-tense verb sitting in its shortened form because the 'did-not' particle before it demands that clipped ending. That clipping is the visible sign the verb is being negated into the past. With the following preposition it builds 'stand by / adhere to'.
