Verb edit

وَجَبَ • (wajaba) I, non-past يَجِبُ‎ (yajibu)

(intransitive) to be necessary, have to be; must: followed by عَلَى (ʕalā, “on”) or by أَنْ (ʔan) and the subjunctive with a personal subject
كَمَا يَجِبُ
kamā yajibu
as it should be, as it must be

يَجِبُ أَن أَذْهَبَ ― yajibu ʔan ʔaḏhaba ― It is necessary for me to go; I must go
(intransitive) to be one's duty; to be incumbent, imposed, enjoined: followed by عَلَى (ʕalā, “on”)
يَجِب عَلَيْهِ أَنْ ...
yajib ʕalayhi ʔan ...
it is his duty to, he has to, he must

Usage notes edit

In the first sense, وَجَبَ (wajaba) is impersonal: it does not take a personal subject. The person for whom something is necessary is given as the object of عَلَى (ʕalā, “on”) or as the subject of the verb in the clause introduced by the subjunctive particle أَنْ (ʔan).
