Arabic vocabulary
How to say “to remain” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا
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.
وَيَخْلُدْ — and he will abide. This fronts wa- 'and' onto a present-tense verb 'abide/dwell forever' in the clipped jussive shape, carried by the same conditional frame as the earlier result verbs. The wa- joins this consequence to the doubling of punishment. The 'he' subject is inside the verb, stating the wrongdoer's eternal stay.
