القفل الرقمي قرب المؤقت.

In Modern Standard Arabic, the verb to be is usually not written or spoken in the present tense.

So:

• القفل الرقمي قرب المؤقت literally looks like:
• the digital lock near the timer

but it means:

• The digital lock is near the timer

This is very normal in Arabic. If you wanted a past or future meaning, then Arabic would use a verb, for example:

• كان القفل الرقمي قرب المؤقت = The digital lock was near the timer

Because in Arabic, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.

So:

• القفل = the lock
• الرقمي = digital

Together:

• القفل الرقمي = the digital lock

This is the normal Arabic order:

• noun + adjective

not:

• adjective + noun

Because Arabic adjectives must match the noun they describe.

Since القفل is:

• definite (it has الـ, so it means the lock)

the adjective must also be definite:

• الرقمي = the digital

So:

• القفل الرقمي = the digital lock

If the noun were indefinite, the adjective would also be indefinite:

• قفل رقمي = a digital lock

This matching is an important rule in Arabic.

Here قرب means near and functions like a location word.

In this sentence, it is being used in a way similar to near in English:

• قرب المؤقت = near the timer

Grammatically, قرب is often treated as a noun of place or an adverbial expression, not exactly the same as a simple English preposition. That is why it is followed directly by another noun.

You can think of it as:

• قرب المؤقت = the vicinity of the timer / near the timer

Because قرب can directly connect to the following noun by itself.

So Arabic can say:

• قرب المؤقت = near the timer

without needing a separate word for of or from.

This is different from another common pattern:

• قريب من المؤقت = close to the timer

So Arabic has more than one way to express this idea:

• قرب المؤقت = near the timer
• قريب من المؤقت = close to the timer

Both are valid, but they are built differently.

Because the sentence refers to the timer, not just a timer.

• المؤقت = the timer
• مؤقت = a timer

So the phrase means:

• near the timer

If you wanted to say near a timer, you would normally make that noun indefinite instead.

A careful full pronunciation would be approximately:

• al-quflu ar-raqamiyyu قربَ al-muʾaqqiti

More naturally, without full case endings, many learners will hear or say something like:

• al-qufl ar-raqamī قرب al-muʾaqqit

A few pronunciation notes:

• القفل = al-qufl
• الرقمي is pronounced ar-raqamī, not al-raqamī, because ر is a sun letter, so the l of الـ assimilates
• المؤقت includes a hamza: muʾaqqit
• the قّ sound in مؤقت is doubled

If fully vowelled in careful grammar, it would be:

• القفلُ الرقميُّ قربَ المؤقتِ

Here is why:

• القفلُ: nominative, because it is the subject/topic
• الرقميُّ: nominative too, because it is an adjective describing القفل
• قربَ: accusative as an adverbial expression of place
• المؤقتِ: genitive because it comes after قرب in this structure

In everyday writing, these endings are usually omitted, so you normally see:

• القفل الرقمي قرب المؤقت

Yes. The sentence has:

• القفل الرقمي = the subject/topic
• قرب المؤقت = the predicate/comment

So the structure is basically:

• The digital lock
  • is near the timer

This is a very common type of Arabic nominal sentence.

Yes. A very common alternative is:

• القفل الرقمي قريبٌ من المؤقت

This also means:

• The digital lock is near the timer

The difference is structural:

• قرب المؤقت uses قرب as a location expression
• قريب من المؤقت uses قريب as an adjective/predicate meaning close, followed by من

Both are correct and useful to know.

Yes, but the basic order here is the most straightforward:

• القفل الرقمي قرب المؤقت

Arabic can sometimes move parts around for style or emphasis, but for a learner, this order is the clearest and safest:

• subject first
• location phrase after it

So this sentence is a good standard model for:

• [noun phrase] + [place expression]

Yes. رقمي is the adjective digital / numeric, and here it describes القفل.

So:

• قفل = lock
• رقمي = digital
• قفل رقمي = a digital lock
• القفل الرقمي = the digital lock

This is a very common way to build descriptive noun phrases in Arabic.
