You can easily emphasize a اِسْم by just adding the corresponding personal pronoun in its normal form after the اِسْم which you want to focus on.
This form is called ضَمِير الْفَصْل – as it separates the subject from the predicate and provides some space in between.
Let us look at some examples.
| It is Khalid who sits there. | خالِد هُوَ الْجالِسُ هُناكَ |
| The engineers were the ones responsible for the success of the project. | كانَ الْمُهَنْدِسُونَ هُم الْمَسْؤُولِينَ عَنْ نَجاحِ الْمَشْرُوعِ |
| I have done my duty. | قُمْتُ أَنا بالْواجِبِ |
| He wrote the lesson himself. | كَتَبَ هُوَ الدَّرْسَ |
