Arabic vocabulary
يُعْطَ is how you say “was given” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
لَمْ يُعْطَ إِبْلِيسَ أَنْ يَأْتِيهِ مِنْ فَوْقٍ وَلَا مِنْ تَحْتٍ
Iblis was not given that he should come to Him from above nor from below.
يُعْط — was given. The verb 'be given' in the passive (Iblis receives, the giver unnamed) and pushed by the preceding negator into the cut-short (jussive) form, which trims its ending. So it carries two grammatical marks at once: passive voice and the jussive shape forced by 'did not'.
