Example sentences

• وليجتهد في تخليص قلبه من علائق الدنيا

  and strive to free his heart from worldly attachments.

  وَلْيَجْتَهِدْ — and let him strive. Another third-person command, 'let him strive', formed by attaching a command-marker to the present verb, which clips its ending short. The lead connector links it to the previous order, so the two instructions read as one continuous piece of advice.

• مَنْ أَحَبَّ تَصْفِيَةَ الْأَحْوَالِ، فَلْيَجْتَهِدْ فِي تَصْفِيَةِ الْأَعْمَالِ،

  Whoever loves to purify his inner states should strive to purify his deeds.

  فَلْيَجْتَهِدْ — so let him strive. A stack of pieces: a 'so/then' link, an exhortation particle 'let', and a command-style verb in its clipped jussive form. The 'so' answers the earlier 'whoever', so it is the 'then' of the rule, and the 'let' particle turns the verb into a third-person command, 'let him strive', the trimmed ending marking it as governed by that particle.
