الَّذِي that in Arabic

هذه الزيادات الصغيرة هي السلّم الخفي الذي يصعد بك حين لا يراك أحد، حتى تصير النفس مطمئنة، والعمل سهلًا، والطريق مضيئًا من الداخل

These small increments are the hidden ladder that lifts you when no one sees, until the soul becomes content, the work easy, and the path illuminated from within.

الَّذِي that

'alladhi' = 'which, that' (masculine).

From On Sincerity

إياك أن تشتغل بهذا الجدل الذي ظهر بعد انقراض الأكابر من العلماء يشير إلى جدل العميدي فإنه يبعد عن الفقه، ويضيع العمر، ويورث الوحشة والعداوة،

Beware of getting involved in this debate that emerged after the passing of the great scholars (referring to the debate of Al-Amidi), for it distances you from understanding the law, wastes your life, and breeds loneliness and enmity.

الذي that

'which', a relative pronoun on 'the debate'.

From Avoiding Scholarly Disputation

وَهَذَا هُوَ الشِّرْكُ الْأَكْبَرُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ اللهُ

And this is the major shirk that Allah mentioned.

الَّذِي that

A relative word, 'which/that', masculine singular to agree with the shirk, introducing a clause that describes it. It carries the following verb as a defining description.

From The Sin of Idolatry

الحمد لله الذي جعل الدنيا على الحقيقة معبر اعتبار،

Praise be to Allah who made this world, in truth, a passage for reflection,

الَّذِي who

This is a relative pronoun 'who', linking a describing clause to God; it agrees in being singular and is fixed in form. It introduces the actions attributed to God that follow.

From Preferring the Hereafter

الحمد لله الذي أرسل السحائب بالمطر،

Praise be to Allah who sent the clouds with rain,

الَّذِي the one who

This is a relative pronoun, 'who / the one who', opening a clause that describes Allah and ties back to the name. Arabic uses it to hang a whole describing sentence onto a definite noun, so everything after it is the description of what He did.

From Rain and God's Decree

وعلى عمه الذي قال فيه الرسول عمي وصنو أبي،

And upon his uncle, of whom the Prophet said: 'He is my uncle and like my father.'

ٱلَّذِي who

This relative word, 'who / about whom', attaches a describing clause to 'his uncle' before it. It marks the following words as further detail about that same uncle, the normal link for a definite person.

From The Story of Prophet Joseph

والتوكل والاستعانة للْعَبد لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ الْوَسِيلَة وَالطَّرِيق الَّذِي ينَال بِهِ مَقْصُوده ومطلوبه من الْعِبَادَة

And reliance and seeking help are for the servant because they are the means and the path through which he attains his goals and desires in worship.

الَّذِي which

This is a relative 'which', the masculine form, agreeing with the masculine noun 'the path' it follows. It opens a describing clause attached to that noun, and the reader holds it as the link back while the clause unfolds.

From Worship and Repentance

فَقَالَ وَرَقَةُ هَذَا النَّامُوسُ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُوسَى،

Waraqah said, "This is the law that was revealed to Moses."

الَّذِيِ that

A connector word that hooks a describing clause onto 'the law', the role of English 'which / that'. It must match what it describes (here a single masculine thing) and it passes its slot to the passive verb after it, so the clause reads 'the law THAT was sent down'.

From The Night of Revelation and Consolation

حَتَّى قُلْتُ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ،

Until I said, "No, by the One who sent you with the truth,"

وَالَّذِي and by the one who

The opening wa- here is not the ordinary 'and' that links items; attached to the following relative word it becomes the particle of an oath, the 'by' of swearing. What follows is the one sworn by, identified only through a 'the one who' clause. So this token sets up a vow and forces everything after it into the role of the sworn-upon object.

From Generosity to the Poor

وَتَمَيَّزَ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ حَاصِلُهُمْ الَّذِي حَصَّلُوهُ،

And for every people, the outcome they had attained was made clear,

الَّذِي that

A relative word, 'which / that', opening a clause that describes the outcome, 'the outcome WHICH they had earned'. It agrees with that masculine singular noun and folds the following verb-clause into a description of it, the way English uses 'that' or 'which'.

From Ignoring God's Guidance

الَّذِي نَصَبَهُ اللَّهُ لِعِبَادِهِ فِي هَذِهِ الدَّارِ

which God has set it up for His servants in this world.

الَّذِي which

A relative pronoun ('which') tying the following clause back to a noun mentioned before, here the path. It carries masculine singular agreement, matching that antecedent. It hands off to the verb that describes what God did with the path.

From The Bridge to Paradise

أَنْتَ مُوسَى الَّذِي اِصْطَفَاكَ اللَّهُ بِرِسَالَاتِهِ وَبِكَلَامِهِ

You are Moses, whom God chose for His messages and for His word.

الَّذِي the one whom

This relative word, 'the one whom', opens a clause describing Moses and serves as the object of the verb inside it. It both stands for Moses and launches the description, building 'whom God chose'.

From Patience Under Decree

مِنْهُمْ إِبْنُهُ عَبْدُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلَّذِي مَاتَ مَسْمُومًا بِالْمَوْصِلِ،

Among them was his son Abd al-Aziz, who died after being poisoned in Mosul,

ٱلَّذِي who

A relative word that hooks a whole describing clause onto the name before it, so everything that follows tells us more about that same person. It must match what it refers to in being masculine and singular. English uses 'who' the same way, but here it also carries that gender-and-number agreement.

From Sermons, Wit, and Sorrow

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا مَلْعُونُ فَمَا الَّذِي تَخَافُهُ

الَّذِي which

This is a 'which/that' linking-word that opens a relative clause describing the report, tying a whole clause back to it. It matches the masculine singular of the noun it modifies. Everything after it tells you what about that report.
