Example sentences

• فَقَالَ تَعَالَىٰ وَلَئِنْ صَبَرْتُمْ لَهْوُ خَيْرٌ لِلصَّابِرِينَ

  And Allah, the Most High, said, "If you are patient, that is better for the patient ones."

  لَهْوُ — that is. Here a pronoun 'that/it' anchors the result clause, pointing back to the act of being patient as the thing said to be better. It serves as the subject of the comparison that follows.

• وَسَهْوُكَ فِي لَهْوِكَ عَمَّا قَدْ خُبِّئَ لَكَ

  And your heedless preoccupation in your diversion from what has been stored for you!

  لَهْوِكَ — your diversion. A noun with the suffix -ka ('your', male) attached, carrying the 'of...' ending because the preposition 'in' governs it. So it reads 'in your diversion', naming the amusement that the heedlessness is sunk into. The possessor is folded into the word itself.
