Command verb

وَسَبِّحُوهُ (And glorify Him) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.

We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"

Lesson 10 · Commands & Future
Verb form II — intensified

وَسَبِّحُوهُ (And glorify Him) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.

The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".

Lesson 12 · Verb Families II–IV
Conjunction وَ (and)

وَسَبِّحُوهُ (And glorify Him) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".

We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
