How to say “world” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَمَنْ هُدِيَ فِيْ هَذِهِ الدَّارِ إِلَى صِرَاطِ اللَّهِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ،
So whoever is guided in this world to the Straight Path of Allah,
الدَّارِ — world. A definite noun (literally 'the abode', read here as 'this world') marked by al- and standing in the genitive as object of the preposition. Paired with the demonstrative before it, it means 'this present world'. The al- gives 'the' without a separate word.
