Example sentences

• كَمَا أَنَّ اللُّصُوصَ قَوَاطِعُ لِطُرُقِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ

  Just as thieves are highwaymen who block Muslims' access to the ways of the world.

  اللُّصُوصَ — thieves. Definite plural 'the thieves', wearing the object ending because the emphatic 'that' before it pulls its noun into that case. Even though the thieves are the ones acting, the particle's grammar puts the noun in object form as the topic of its clause.
