Example sentences

• وَقَوْلُهُمْ الْحِمْيَةُ رَأْسُ الدَّوَاءِ، مَذْكُورٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا

  And their saying: 'Moderation is the best remedy' is mentioned in His saying: 'And eat and drink, but be not excessive.'

  وَكُلُوا — and eat. This is 'and' joined to a plural command 'eat (you all)'. The command is shaped for a group, the plural-you ending turning it into an order aimed at many. The 'and' chains it into the verse's series of instructions.
