In The name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
 
The (Al)
The article “the” in Arabic is called (Al), & is used for defining & specifying the nouns & the adjectives , here`s an example :
The House is Big
The big House
 
As you may note in the second Example the “Al” is used in both the noun & the adjective , the reason is because the object is reminded to the listeners by mentioning it`s characteristic (being big in this example) , so we used “Al” in both the noun & the adjective.
 
Also you may note that the noun comes before the adjective on the contrary of English where the adjective precedes the noun.
 
P.S. : in English when there`s an indefinite object , it is referred to it by the article “a” , for instance :
 A little boy.
 
In Arabic there`s no such thing, there`s no article is used in this case :
A little boy
