Indeed, the mother bore many heavy burdens in carrying him.
أثقالًا — burdens. This is the object the verb 'bore' acted upon, and its open -an ending plus tanwin mark it as an indefinite plural in the object case, 'burdens'. Arabic flags the direct object with this -a vowel, and the tanwin keeps it general, not a specific set. The adjective that follows will describe it.
