عَرْشِYour Throne

Example sentences

• الَّذِينَ تَظَلُّهُمْ فِي عَرْشِكَ؟

  Who are those You shade beneath Your Throne?

  عَرْشِكَ — Your Throne. This noun carries an owner-ending meaning 'Your', so one word equals 'Your Throne', and it sits in the genitive forced by the preposition before it. The attached 'Your' addresses God. Arabic glues the owner onto the noun rather than using a separate word.

• فأنطلق، فأتي تحت العرش، فأقع ساجداً لربي، ثم يفتح الله علي من محامده،

  So I set out, I come beneath the Throne and fall prostrate before my Lord; then God opens to me some of His praiseworthy attributes.

  الْعَرْشِ — the Throne. A definite noun governed by 'beneath', carrying 'the' and the ending the preposition demands; it names the Throne as the place. Definiteness and case both on the one word.
