ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ
10:3 Thumma ثُمَّis used as a conjunction indicating a sequence in order with no time interval in between. It is usually translated as that, thereafter or thereupon. There are frequent instances in the sayings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and in pre-Islamic Arabian poetry where this word has the significance of a repetitive stress, alluding to something that has already been stated and is now emphasized once again. In cases where it is used to link parallel statements it has often the function of the simple conjunction wa Ë - “and”.
