Grammar Rules

Command verb
وَبَشِّرِ (And give glad tidings) is a command — it's telling someone to do something.
We translate it as a direct command — "[Do this]!"
Verb form II — intensified
وَبَشِّرِ (And give glad tidings) 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]".
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَبَشِّرِ (And give glad tidings) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.

Sahih International

And give good tidings to the believers that they will have from Allāh great bounty.
