ٱلْكَهْف : ٣٨

  • لَّـٰكِنَّا۠ But as for me
  • هُوَ He
  • ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah
  • رَبِّي my Lord
  • وَلَآ and not
  • أُشۡرِكُ I associate
  • بِرَبِّيٓ with my Lord
  • أَحَدٗا anyone
But as for me, He is Allāh, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
But lo (laakinnaa is actually [made up of] laakin anaa, 'but I . ', where the hamza vowel has [either] been transferred onto the noon [of laakin], or omitted [altogether] with the noon assimilated with the like of it) He [is] (huwa, this is the pronoun of the [subject] matter [to be stated] and is clarified by the sentence that follows it: the meaning [in other words] is '[But, it is that] I say that [He is]') God, my Lord, and I do not ascribe any partner to my Lord.
