طَرِيقَةِthe path

Example sentences

• قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَأَنَّ لَوْ إِسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُمْ مَاءً غَدَقًا

  God, the Exalted, said: If they had remained steadfast on the path, We would have given them abundant flowing water.

  الطَّرِيقَةِ — the path. A definite noun in the 'of'-style ending because the preposition before it governs it. It names the straight way that steadfastness would cling to. Its definiteness marks it as the specific, known path, not just any road, completing the 'upon the way' phrase.
