Example sentences

• زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَاطِيرِ الْمُقَنْطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ

  People were made to find attractive the love of desires: women and sons, and the piled-up heaps of gold and silver.

  الذَّهَبِ — the gold. Carries al- ('the') and is the object of the material preposition before it, so it takes the genitive ending. It names the first substance of the heaps. The definiteness treats gold as a known, specific category of wealth.
