الْمُؤَلِّفُthe author

Example sentences

• قَالَ المُؤَلِّفُ

  The author said.

  الْمُؤلف — the author. This noun is the doer of the saying, and it follows its verb rather than preceding it, which is the normal word order in Arabic storytelling. The al- on the front marks it as definite, a specific known author rather than just any author. Because it is the subject, it sits in the plain naming case that Arabic uses for whoever performs the action.
