عدل عن قراره

addala 'an qararih

Changed his mind

To alter a previously made decision or opinion.

🌍

문화적 배경

Changing a decision is often framed as 'Al-Udool 'an al-khata' (retracting from error), which is considered a noble trait in Islamic ethics. In daily life, people might use 'Raja' bi klamo' (He went back on his word), which can be a bit more insulting than the formal 'Adala 'an'. In business settings, 'Adala 'an' is used frequently in official correspondence to maintain a high level of politeness and professionalism. Egyptians might use 'Raga' fi klamo' or 'Ghayyar fikro', but 'Adala 'an' remains the king of news broadcasts.

💡

The 'An' Rule

Always remember the preposition 'an'. Without it, you aren't changing your mind; you're just being fair.

⚠️

Don't be too formal

If you're talking about what to watch on Netflix, don't use this. Use 'Ghayyart ra'yi'.

It is mostly Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). In dialects, people use 'Raja' fi klamo' or 'Ghayyar ra'yo', but they will understand 'Adala 'an' from news and school.

'Adala 'an' is slightly more formal and implies a 'just' reconsideration. 'Taraja'a 'an' literally means 'to retreat' and can be used for physical movement too.

Technically yes, but it sounds very dramatic. It's like saying 'I hereby rescind my intention to purchase this latte.'

The opposite is 'Assara 'ala' (insisted on) or 'Sammama 'ala' (was determined on).

No, it can be followed by any noun like 'Fikra' (idea), 'Safar' (travel), or 'Mawqif' (stance).

Not necessarily. It often implies wisdom and the ability to correct a mistake.

It is 'Adaltu 'an' (عَدَلْتُ عَن).

Yes: 'Sa-ya'dilu 'an' (He will retract).

Yes, especially in the phrase 'Haqq al-Udool' (Right of withdrawal) in consumer law.

'Adala ila' is rare but can mean to return to something just.
