How to say “they were guided” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَلَوْ هُدُوا لَعَلِمُوا أَنَّ الْقَدَرَ أَمَرَّنَا
And if they had been guided, they would have known that the divine decree commanded us.
هُدوا — they had been guided. This verb is in its passive shape with a 'they' sense, 'they had been guided', the internal vowels reshaped so guidance is received from an unnamed source. The passive marking is internal, no helper word, framing them as recipients of guidance, not its givers.
From: Patience Under Decree →OpenArabic teaches words like هُدُوا through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
