Example sentences

• الْعَاجِزُ مَنْ أَتَّبَعَ نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهَا وَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ الأَمَانِيَ

  The helpless one is the one who follows his own self its desire and wishes on Allah the wishes.

  وَتَمَنَّى — and wished. The wa- on the front coordinates a second past-tense verb with 'follows', so the same subject does both. The conjunction joins two habitual actions of the same person, 'follows... and wishes...', sharing one doer built into the verbs.
