Arabic vocabulary
How to say “the heart” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَيَهِشُّونَ لَهَا، لِأَنَّهَا تَجْمَعُ الأَنْفُسَ وَتُرِيحُ الْقَلْبَ مِنْ كَدِّ الْفِكْرِ
And they are delighted by it, because it gathers the souls and eases the heart from the toil of thought.
الْقَلْبَ — the heart. The al- makes this definite, 'the' heart, the specific known thing. It is the receiver-of-the-action of the easing verb before it, so it wears the accusative object ending that marks what gets eased.
