Past tense verb
عَلَّمَ (Taught) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Verb form II — intensified
عَلَّمَ (Taught) 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]".
Sahih International
Taught man that which he knew not.
