How to say “the surah” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وإياك نستعين﴾ قال هذه الآية، بيني وبين عبدي نصفين، ولعبدي ما سأل، فإذا قال ﴿اهدنا الصراط المستقيم﴾ إلى آخر السورة قال هؤلاء لعبدي، ولعبدي ما سأل١١
And You alone we ask for help. He said: This verse divides, between Me and My servant, into two parts; to My servant belongs what he asked. So when he says "Guide us to the Straight Path" until the end of the surah, He said: These belong to My servant, and to My servant belongs what he asked.
السُّورَةِ — the surah. A definite noun serving as the owner in the 'end of the surah' pairing, set after the head noun and so in the genitive owner slot. Its 'the' passes definiteness back to the preceding 'end', fixing the phrase as the close of that specific chapter.
