تِلْكَ those in Arabic

فإنْ كان عند العبد عُدَّةٌ عتيدة من الإيمان تقاوم تلك العُدَّةِ وتزيد عليها، انتصف من الشيطان،

If the servant has a ready supply of faith to counter those weapons and surpass them, he prevails over the devil.

تِلْكَ those

A far-pointing demonstrative, feminine, 'those', pairing with the definite noun after it — those weapons. It points back to the devil's arsenal.

From How Satan Exploits Weakness

وكم من واعظ مفوه قد أبكى وأثر في الحاضرين تلك الساعة،

And how many eloquent preachers have moved the attendees to tears at that moment,

تِلْكَ at that

This is a feminine 'that', pointing at the (feminine) word for 'hour/moment' coming next. Together they form a time-expression thrown into the accusative to mean 'at that moment'. Arabic marks 'when' adverbs of time with the accusative rather than a preposition.

From Sincere Preaching

وقال عبد الواحد بن زيد لو رأيت الحسن، لقلت صب على هذا حزن الخلائق؛ من طول تلك الدمعة، وكثرة ذلك النشيج

Abdul-Wahid ibn Zaid said: If you saw Al-Hasan, you would say: 'The sorrow of all beings has been poured upon him,' because of the length of his weeping and the abundance of his lamentations.

تِلْكَ that

This is a 'that' pointing word marking something at a distance, used here to single out a particular weeping. Its far-pointing shape contrasts with a 'this' demonstrative and flags the weeping as the known, referred-to one.

From Grief of the Prophet's Grandson

ولو فهم معنى التوكل لعلم أنه لا ينافي استغاثته في تلك الحال،

If he understood the true meaning of trust in God, he would realize that it does not conflict with calling for help in such a situation.

تِلْكَ such

This is a far-pointing 'that/such' demonstrative tied to the following noun, singling out that particular plight. Its far form marks the situation as the already-referenced one.

From Trust in God

وتلك الحكايات ينبغي أن تدخل في ترجمة الحسن لا في ترجمة هشام،

Those stories should be included in the biography of al-Hasan, not in the biography of Hisham.

وَتِلْكَ and those

The connector 'and' joined to a pointing word, 'those', reaching back to the stories just discussed. The demonstrative tracks the topic and works as the subject of the coming judgement.

From Gaps in a Collection of Pious Lives

أو يتعانى تلك القاذورات ؟

Or engage in those abominations?

تِلْكَ those

This is a far-pointing demonstrative, 'those (over there)', feminine, used for things at a distance. It marks the following noun as specific and somewhat scornfully held away, and it agrees with that feminine plural noun; English 'those' carries no such nearness-or-distance contrast.

From True Devotion

فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِذَلِكَ فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ تِلْكَ الأَيَّامَ،

Umar said to him, "You are more entitled to that," so Abu Bakr led the prayer during those days.

تِلْكَ those

A feminine demonstrative, 'those', pointing at and agreeing with the feminine-treated plural noun after it; the agreement is how it locks onto exactly that noun. It picks out the specific stretch of days.

From Prayer During Illness

يَفْعَلُ ذَٰلِكَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَاتِ الثَّلاَثِ

He does that on each of those three nights.

تِلْكَ those

A far-pointing 'those', shaped for a non-human plural (Arabic treats plural non-persons as grammatically feminine-singular), so it agrees with 'nights'. It marks them as the specific, already-known set.

From The Secret Migration

فَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَدْرِي فَتِلْكَ دِيَارُهُمْ

So if you do not know, then those are their homes.

فَتِلْكَ then those

Two pieces fuse: fa- here marking the result-clause of the condition, 'then', and a demonstrative 'those'. So it opens the answer, 'then those...', pointing to something visible. The fa- ties the pointing-out to the 'if you do not know' that preceded it.

From Vigilance Against Worldly Deception

فَتَخَاذَلُوا وَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ الرِّيحَ

So they faltered, and God sent the wind upon them that night.

تِلْكَ that

This is a 'that' pointing-word for a feminine singular noun, singling out a particular night. Arabic matches the pointing-word to the gender of what it indicates, so its feminine shape ties it to 'night'. It marks the following noun as that specific one.
