In The Quran

The triliteral root ʿshīn dāl dāl (ش د د) occurs in the Quran 102 times.

(4:84) So fight in the path of God. You are not responsible except for yourself. Enjoin those who acknowledge, "Perhaps God will put a stop to the might of those who deny." God is far Stronger (Arab. أَشَدُّ, ashaddu) (in) might, and far Stronger (Arab. وَأَشَدُّ, wa-ashaddu) (in) punishment.

(22:2) The moment you see it, every nursing mother will leave her suckling child, and every pregnant one will miscarry, and you will see the people drunk, while they are not drunk, but the retribution of God is most severe (Arab. شَدِيدٌ, shadīdun).

In The Bible

El Shaddai (Hebrew: אֵל שַׁדַּי‎, IPA: [el ʃaˈdːaj]) or just Shaddai is one of the names of the God of Israel. El Shaddai is conventionally translated as God Almighty but the construction of the phrase fits the pattern of the divine appellations in the Ancient Near East and as such can convey various types of semantic relations between these two words: El of a place known as Shaddai, El possessing the quality of shaddai or El who is also known as Shaddai – exactly as is the case with the names like "’El Olam", "’El Elyon" or "’El Betel". Moreover, while the translation of El as "god" or "lord" in the Ugaritic/Canaanite language is straightforward, the literal meaning of Shaddai is the subject of debate.

The name appears 48 times in the Bible, seven times as "El Shaddai" (five times in Genesis, once in Exodus, and once in Ezekiel).
