Example sentences

• وَأَنَّ الْعَمَلَ الَّذِي يُجَانِبُ مَرَادَ الشَّارِعِ بَاطِلٌ،

  And that any action that goes against the intent of the Lawgiver is invalid.

  يُجَانِبُ — goes against. A present-tense verb with the 'he/it' subject folded inside it, so no separate word for 'it' is needed. Its subject is not a person but the relative word just before it, meaning 'the action that goes against'; the verb opens the description of that action.
