ٱلْإِسْرَاء : ٥٤

  • رَّبُّكُمۡ Your Lord
  • أَعۡلَمُ (is) most knowing
  • بِكُمۡۖ of you
  • إِن If
  • يَشَأۡ He wills
  • يَرۡحَمۡكُمۡ He will have mercy on you
  • أَوۡ or
  • إِن if
  • يَشَأۡ He wills
  • يُعَذِّبۡكُمۡۚ He will punish you
  • وَمَآ And not
  • أَرۡسَلۡنَٰكَ We have sent you
  • عَلَيۡهِمۡ over them
  • وَكِيلٗا (as) a guardian
Your Lord is most knowing of you. If He wills, He will have mercy upon you; or if He wills, He will punish you. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], over them as a manager.
Your Lord knows you best. If He will, He will have mercy on you, by way of [granting you] repentance and faith, or, if He will, for you to be chastised, He will chastise you, by having you die in disbelief. And We did not send you to be a guardian over them, and so compel them to [embrace] faith - this was [revealed] before the command to fight [them].
