Example sentences

• وَإِفْتِقَارَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَيَسْتَعِينُونَ بِهَا عَلَى أَهْوِيَتِهِمْ وَأَذْوَاقِهِمْ

  And their neediness toward Him, and they seek help through it for their desires and tastes.

  وَإِفْتِقَارَهُمْ — and their neediness. This token fronts a wa- 'and' on a verbal noun (an action turned into a noun) that carries a 'their' pronoun, meaning 'and their neediness'. The wa- coordinates it with the prior object; the action-noun lets a whole 'being needy' idea function as a thing. The attached pronoun marks whose neediness.
