Example sentences

فَإِذَا وَقَعَتْ عُقُوبَةٌ لِتَمْحَصَ ذَنْبًا،
So when a punishment befalls to test a sin,
لِتَمْحَصَ — to test. The 'li-' fused at the front is a purpose marker, 'in order to', and it does grammatical work beyond its meaning: it forces the verb after it into the subjunctive shape, the form Arabic uses for an aim not yet realised. So the trimmed ending here signals that the testing is the goal of the punishment, not a fact already done.
