Example sentences

• وإياك نستعين﴾ قال هذه الآية، بيني وبين عبدي نصفين، ولعبدي ما سأل، فإذا قال ﴿اهدنا الصراط المستقيم﴾ إلى آخر السورة قال هؤلاء لعبدي، ولعبدي ما سأل١١

  And You alone we ask for help. He said: This verse divides, between Me and My servant, into two parts; to My servant belongs what he asked. So when he says "Guide us to the Straight Path" until the end of the surah, He said: These belong to My servant, and to My servant belongs what he asked.

  نَسْتَعِينُ — we ask for help. A present-tense verb 'we ask for help', with its first-person plural subject folded into the verb's shape, so no separate 'we' is written. It follows the fronted 'You alone', and that order produces the exclusive 'You alone we ask for help'.
