Example sentences

• وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ شَرَّفَهُمْ وَأَعْلَى مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ بِدُخُولِهِمْ الإِسْلَامِ،

  And that God honored them and elevated their station by their entering Islam,

  بِدُخُولِهِمْ — by their entering. The preposition bi- ('by / through') fused onto an action-noun that ends in -him ('their'), so one word means 'by their ...'. The bi- marks the means and governs the noun into its genitive role; the action-noun names a deed, and -him says whose. It heads a possessive link with the next word.
