Example sentence

وَقَدْ كُتِبَتْ لَهُ رِسَالَةُ لَفْتَةِ الْكَبِدِ إِلَى نَصِيحَةِ الْوَلَدِ

A letter was written to him, a heartfelt plea urging him to advise the son.

كُتِبَتْ was written

This is the passive form of 'to write', so the letter is what got written rather than the writer of anything; no doer is named. The feminine ending on the verb agrees with the feminine word 'letter' that serves as its grammatical subject. Arabic signals the passive by reshaping the verb's vowels, not by adding 'was'.
