Example sentence

وَلْيَعْلَمْ الْبَارَّ بِالْوَالِدَيْنِ

And let the dutiful person know about the parents.

بِالْوَالِدَيْنِ toward the two parents

The bi- here means 'toward / to', marking the object of the dutifulness, and it fuses with a dual noun carrying al-, so the word means 'toward the two parents'. The dual ending folds 'exactly two' into the noun itself, a count English spells out separately. The preposition also pulls the noun into the genitive.

وَيُقَاسُ عَلَى قُرْبِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ

And it is compared to the closeness of the parents to the child.

الْوَالِدَيْنِ the parents

This is the dual form — Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' shape, used here for the pair of parents. Where English would add a separate 'two', Arabic folds the count into the noun's ending. It is the owner completing 'closeness of the parents', so it carries the genitive ending of the possessive link.
