Example sentences
وَهُوَ الْفَقْرِ الْحَاضِرِ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي صَاحِبَهُ إِلَى الْعَذَابِ الدَّائِمِ الشَّدِيدِ
And it is the immediate poverty that leads its owner to severe, everlasting punishment.
الشَّديد — severe. A second adjective in the same row, again echoing the noun's definiteness and ending. Arabic lets several adjectives line up after one noun, each agreeing, so all three words bind to the same punishment.
