Example sentences

ذَلِكَ مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهَلْ الْمَتَاعُ إِلَّا عَارِيَةٌ تُعَارُ،
That is the provision of worldly life; and is the provision anything but a loan that is lent?
الْمَتَاعُ — the provision. Carries al- ('the') and is the subject of the rhetorical question — the provision again, repeated for force. Restating the noun rather than using a pronoun keeps the focus hammered on the same thing. The definiteness ties it back to the provision already named.
