Example sentences

• وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ﴾

  And striving in His cause, so wait until Allah brings about by His command.

  فَتَرَبَّصُوا — so you wait. The fa- here means 'so/then', drawing a consequence, and it fronts a plural command verb, 'wait, hold off', addressed to a group. The command shape plus the plural ending tells a whole audience to bide their time pending the outcome named next.
