You can easily emphasize a اِسْم by adding the corresponding personal pronoun after the اِسْم you want to focus on. This is called ضَمِير الْفَصْل, the pronoun of separation, as it separates the subject from the predicate and provides 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 |
