مِنَ الْعَلَامَاتِ الَّتِي تُمَيِّزُ الِاسْمَ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ أَنْ يَقْبَلَ دُخُولَ وَاحِدَةٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يَأْتِي، وَلَيْسَ بِلَازِمٍ وُجُودُهَا كُلُّهَا؛ وَهِيَ: أ) الْجَرُّ بِحَرْفِ جَرٍّ، أَوْ بِالْإِضَافَةِ مِثْلُ:

(from previous page) ⟵ The particle is that whose meaning is not understood except with other words, and its mission is to link between words. Among the signs that distinguish a noun from others is that it accepts the entry of one or more of the following.

فِي سَبِيلِ الْوَطَنِ تَهُونُ الصِّعَابُ

For the sake of the homeland, no hardship is too great.

الدِّينُ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ

Religion is good character.

يَا جِبَالُ أَوِّبِي مَعَهُ وَالطَّيْرَ

O mountains, echo his praise, and you birds as well.

فَالْخَيْلُ وَاللَّيْلُ وَالْبَيْدَاءُ تَعْرِفُنِي، وَالسَّيْفُ وَالرُّمْحُ وَالْقِرْطَاسُ وَالْقَلَمُ

The horses, the night, and the desert know me, as do the sword, the spear, the parchment, and the pen.

الدِّينُ يُسْرٌ

Religion is ease.

انْتَصَرَ الْحَقُّ

Truth has triumphed.

تُؤْخَذُ الدُّنْيَا غِلَابًا

The world is taken by force.

مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ، وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا

Whoever does good does so for his own soul, and whoever does evil does so against it; then you will all be returned to your Lord.

Whoever is sincere in his work will excel. Work for your worldly life as if you live forever. ⟶ (sentence continues on next page)
