Example sentences
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ
Indeed, God is not ashamed of the truth.
يَسْتَحْيِي — he is ashamed. A present-tense verb 'is ashamed' carrying a third-person masculine 'he', negated by the particle before it. Its built-in 'he' refers to God, the subject named earlier. The present-tense form expresses a standing truth rather than a one-off event — God never shies from the truth.
