تَدْفَعُwards off

Example sentences

• فَتَدْفَعُ الرِّياضَةُ العَوَارِضَ الْمُفْسِدَةَ

  So training wards off the corrupting occurrences.

  فَتَدْفَعُ — so wards off. The prefix fa- here marks a consequence flowing from the prior point, an 'and so' of result rather than plain sequence. The verb it rides on is present-tense and leads its clause before the subject, the normal Arabic order. So it presents the warding-off as the natural outcome of a sound nature.
