How to say “will be doubled” 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.
يُضَاعَفُ — will be doubled. A present-tense passive verb 'will be doubled/multiplied'. The passive is built from the inner vowel pattern, not a helper word, so the punishment is the thing acted upon and no doubler is named. It states the increase as something done to the penalty rather than something anyone is described as doing.
