  And whoever does that will incur sins; the punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide in it abased, except for whoever repented and believed and did a righteous deed.

  الْعَذَابُ — the punishment. A noun with al- 'the', definite, 'the punishment', and it is the subject of the passive 'will be doubled' - the thing that gets multiplied. Being the receiver of a passive verb, it stands as the grammatical subject in the nominative form. Its al- makes it the specific, known torment.
