| Arabic | Transliteration | Grammatical / Lexical Notes | |--------|----------------|-----------------------------| | يُحِبُّونَهُمْ | yuḥibbūnahum | "They love them" – present tense verb, third person plural, object pronoun "them" (the rivals/equals). | | كَحُبِّ ٱللَّهِ | ka-ḥubbi llāhi | "Like the love of Allah" – ka (like), ḥubb (love), Allāh (in genitive construct).
