Example sentence

لأَنَّ الْبَهَائِمَ وَاقِفَةٌ مَعَ طِبَاعِهَا لَا نَظَرَ لَهَا إِلَى عَاقِبَةٍ وَلا فِكْرَ فِي مَآلٍ

Because animals remain with their nature, without regard to consequences and without thinking of their fate.

وَاقِفَةٌ it remains

Not a verb but a describing word ('standing still, staying put'), feminine to agree with the animal-class subject; nominative. Arabic states 'X is Y' with no 'is' at all — the bare describer carries it.
