Example sentences

• وَالْخِصْلَةَ العَاشِرَةَ الَّتِي بِهَا مَجْدُهُ وَأَعْلَى ذِكْرِهِ

  And the tenth trait by which his glory and his mention is elevated.

  وَالْخِصْلَةَ — and the trait. Opens with a connector 'wa-' continuing the list of traits, joined to a noun made definite by 'al-' that carries an accusative ending, marking it as an object picked out for special mention. The 'wa-' here keeps the enumeration going. The accusative flags this trait as the one being singled out and elaborated.
