الْمَعَاذِرُthe excuses

Example sentences

• وَعُذْرُ مَنْ نَبَذَ الْوَحْيَيْنِ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهِ الْمَعَاذِرُ؟

  And what excuse will the one who casts the two revelations behind his back have on a day when excuses will not benefit the wrongdoers?

  الْمَعَاذِرُ — the excuses. A definite plural noun, 'the excuses', the delayed subject of 'do not benefit', the thing that will prove useless. With 'the', it points to excuses as a whole. Standing at the clause's end, it completes the verb-first sentence by naming who does the failing-to-help.
