مُحَمَّد : ٣٠

  • وَلَوۡ And if
  • نَشَآءُ We willed
  • لَأَرَيۡنَٰكَهُمۡ surely We could show them to you
  • فَلَعَرَفۡتَهُم and you would know them
  • بِسِيمَٰهُمۡۚ by their marks
  • وَلَتَعۡرِفَنَّهُمۡ but surely you will know them
  • فِي by
  • لَحۡنِ (the) tone
  • ٱلۡقَوۡلِۚ (of their) speech
  • وَٱللَّهُ And Allah
  • يَعۡلَمُ knows
  • أَعۡمَٰلَكُمۡ your deeds
And if We willed, We could show them to you, and you would know them by their mark; but you will surely know them by the tone of [their] speech. And Allāh knows your deeds.
And if We will, We could show them to you, We could have pointed them out to you (the laam is repeated in [the following, fa-la-'araftahum]), then you would recognise them by their mark. And you will certainly recognise them (wa-la-ta'rifannahum: the waaw is for an omitted oath, and what follows it [fee lahni'l-qawl] is its response) by [their] tone of speech, that is to say, [by] the meaning thereof when they speak in your presence, alluding [as they do] to what amounts to a scathing attack upon the Muslims; and God knows your deeds.
