قَدْ

A word in the Arabic language will either be 1) a verb or 2) a noun or 3) a particle – قَدْ is a particle

Corroborative particle added to a verb.

When preceding the past it means that an event has truly or recently happened,

and when proceeding the aorist it means that an event is expected to be shortly performed. Thus it a confirmatory particle prefixed before perfect tense to make the verb definitely past perfect and when placed before imperfect it denotes certainty of a thing or frequency of a thing and that it is surely expected or it was not unexpected.

Another use of Qad قَد is to add energy to an affirmation and it may then be rendered truly of a certainty, verily, indeed, surely.

It also means already or possibility.

If used as a noun it means sufficiency.

When it gives the meanings of expectation it can be prefixed before past tense and aorist.

It also gives the meaning of to happen often or frequently or very often or Rubama – many a time.
