LessonsSupplementary Practice 18: Rhetorical Analysis of Sūrat al-Ḍuḥā and Sūrat al-SharḥQuiz

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
Your Lord will give, and you will be satisfied. (الضحى: 5)

The fā in fa-tarḍā is not simply the opening of an unrelated report. It places satisfaction in close semantic connection with the promised giving. The agents differ—your Lord gives, while the addressee is satisfied—yet distinct agents do not erase the relation between the events.

This distinction helps compare wāw, fā and deliberate non-coordination. A plain coordinating wāw can join items without specifying outcome; fā here brings the consequent state into focus. The choice of connector is therefore part of the intended meaning.
