LessonsChapter Eight: Ijaz, Itnab and Musawah — Brevity, Amplification and BalanceQuiz

Tadhyil adds a separate, complete sentence after an earlier statement in order to reinforce its meaning. This is not simply adding a modifier to the first sentence.

وَقُلْ جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا
Say: Truth has come and falsehood has vanished; falsehood is by nature bound to vanish. (Al-Isra 17:81)

The first part reports the triumph of truth. The closing independent assertion gives a generalizing confirmation of the earlier meaning.
