وَقَدhaving

Example sentences

• وعلى الضدّ من ذلك مَن لم تبقَ له حسنةٌ معتبرة وقد قضاها على الباطل فلا يقوم له وزن؛ أعماله كالسراب أو الرماد في يومٍ عاصف

  And on the contrary: whoever has no significant good deeds left—having wasted them on falsehood—has no weight; his deeds are like a mirage or ashes on a stormy day.

  وَقَدْ — having. 'having [already]' — 'wa' plus 'qad', opening a background clause: 'wa' here means 'while', and 'qad' with the past verb stresses a completed act.
