Example sentences

زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَاطِيرِ الْمُقَنْطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ
People were made to find attractive the love of desires: women and sons, and the piled-up heaps of gold and silver.
وَالْبَنِينَ — and the sons. The connector wa- ('and') fused onto a noun carrying al- ('the'). Here wa- adds the next item to the running list of desires, coordinating it with what came before. Because the earlier preposition governs the whole list, this item too sits in the genitive — wa- just links it in.
