كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّاعِيُ الشَّفِيقُ غَنَمَهُ عَنْ مَرَاتِعِ الْهَلَكَةِ
Just as the compassionate shepherd wards his flock away from pastures of destruction.
الْرَاعِيُ — the shepherd. This is a definite noun carrying 'the', and it is the doer of the warding verb before it, sitting after its verb in the verb-first arrangement. Its subject-form ending marks it as the one acting. It is the shepherd at the centre of the simile.
