ذَلِكُمْthat

Example sentences

• أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكُمْ

  Shall I tell you of something better than that?

  ذَلِكُمْ — that. A demonstrative 'that', the object of the comparison-preposition 'than', so it takes the genitive role; it points back to the worldly provisions just dismissed. Its ending is tuned to a plural addressee, fitting the 'you (plural)' being spoken to. It names the inferior thing the better one is measured against.
