کے مطابق
According to a Source or Standard
Put the source or standard before کے مطابق.
How It Works
Attribution tells the listener where a claim comes from. The phrase itself does not prove that the source is correct.
With a rule or plan, it can describe conformity rather than a reported opinion. The surrounding verb makes the intended relationship clear.
The linking form is کے in this compound. Changing nouns take their oblique form before it, and pronouns use forms such as میرے مطابق or آپ کے مطابق.
