Arabic vocabulary
How to say “hereafter” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
لكنها ليست من علوم الدين، ولا مما يتقرب به الى الله ولا من زاد المعاد،
But it is not among the sciences of religion, nor is it something that brings one closer to Allah, nor is it provision for the hereafter.
الْمَعَادِ — the hereafter. This closes 'the provision of the hereafter / the return', in the genitive as owner. The word means the final 'return' to God. So the discipline is not even part of what one stocks up for the afterlife.
From: Intention in Islam →OpenArabic teaches words like الْمَعَادِ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
