Questions & Answers about وفقا لشهادة السلامة، نظام الرش الآلي صالح للعمل.

How would this sentence be fully vocalized?

A careful MSA reading is:

وَفْقًا لِشَهَادَةِ السَّلَامَةِ، نِظَامُ الرَّشِّ الآلِيُّ صَالِحٌ لِلْعَمَلِ.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

wafqan li-shahaadati s-salaamah, nizaamu r-rashshi al-aaliyyu saalihun lil-`amali

In normal Arabic writing, the short vowels are usually omitted, which is why the original sentence appears without these marks.

What does وفقا لـ mean here?

وفقًا لـ means according to, in accordance with, or based on.

So:

• وفقًا لشهادة السلامة = according to the safety certificate

This is a very common formal MSA expression, especially in reports, official statements, and technical writing.

Why is there a لـ before شهادة?

Because وفقًا is normally followed by لـ.

So the pattern is:

• وفقًا لـ + noun
• طبقًا لـ + noun
• استنادًا إلى + noun

Here, لِشهادةِ means according to the certificate.

Grammatically, the لـ is a preposition, so it makes شهادة genitive.
