As an adj., or adv., this word accentuates and magnifies the impact by describing the good with translations such as exceedingly, extremely, immensely, incredibly and infinitely. See Note 003:173)
** Note 004:014. The verb يُدۡخِلۡ is in the passive voice. It shows that whoever obeys God Almighty and His Messenger will be admitted to the Paradise. Instead of translating what the text in the Holy Qor-aan reads, some authors wrote what came to their minds such as follows.
Some authors translated this word accurately as ‘whosoever obeys … will be admitted’ in the passive voice but then the same word in the following verse inconsistently as ‘He will cast him’ into the Fire.’
Another author added perpetuity in his translation of this and the following words as ‘whoever obeys … shall dwell for ever in gardens watered by running streams.’
