ٱلشُّورَىٰ : ١٧

  • ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ the Book
  • بِٱلۡحَقِّ in truth
  • وَٱلۡمِيزَانَۗ and the Balance
  • وَمَا And what
  • يُدۡرِيكَ will make you know
  • لَعَلَّ Perhaps
  • ٱلسَّاعَةَ the Hour
  • قَرِيبٞ (is) near
It is Allāh who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance [i.e., justice]. And what will make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near.
God it is Who has revealed the Book, Al-Qur'an, with the truth (bi'l-haqqi is semantically connected to anzala, 'revealed') as well as the Balance, Justice. And what do you know - perhaps the Hour, that is, its arrival, is near! (la'alla, 'perhaps', comments on the verb describing the action, with what follows it functioning as two direct objects).
