The verb 'يفتأ' (yaftaʾu) comes from the root ف ت أ (f-t-ʾ), which generally denotes ceasing, stopping, or weakening. The particle 'لا' (lā) negates this meaning. Thus, 'لا يفتأ' literally means 'he does not cease' or 'he does not stop', conveying the idea of persistence or continuity. This construction is a common way in Arabic to express continuous action through negation of cessation. It is often used in formal and classical Arabic.
