الصَّلَاةُthe prayer

Example sentences

• وَإِنْ سَهُلَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ الصَّلَاةُ، فَعَلُوهَا،

  And if the prayer is made easy for them, they perform it.

  الصَّلَاةُ — the prayer. A definite noun acting as the subject of the passive verb, the thing being made easy, so it carries the plain subject ending. In a passive clause the original object becomes the grammatical subject, which is exactly what 'the prayer' is doing here: it is what undergoes the easing.
