How the two words are related
Cognate
Same Semitic root, same meaning — you already know this word.
idhan sits on the old Semitic pointer ʾidh, traditionally linked to Hebrew אָז with the regular ז↔ذ match — and Modern Hebrew אז covers exactly this ground: "so, then, in that case". The final -n is a fossilized tanwin, which is why you will also see it spelled إِذًا.
