النَّاسَ the people

A noun carrying 'the' that sits in the object-style ending purely because the emphasis particle before it forces that ending, even though it is the logical subject of 'have gathered'. This is a quirk of that particle: it reshapes the following noun's ending. It names who has gathered.
