Example sentences

• وذكر كذلك الذين اتخذوا العلم وسيلة وغرضا لتحصيل ملذات الدنيا وحطامها الفاني،

  He also mentioned those who took knowledge as a means and a goal to acquire the pleasures of the fleeting world and its perishable goods.

  وَحُطَامِهَا — and its fleeting goods. Joined by 'and', this noun continues the list of what is sought, and its attached ending points back to the world: 'its perishable goods'. The possessor is carried entirely by that suffix, where English needs a separate 'its'.
