نُوح : ٤

  • يَغۡفِرۡ He will forgive
  • لَكُم for you
  • مِّن [of]
  • ذُنُوبِكُمۡ your sins
  • وَيُؤَخِّرۡكُمۡ and give you respite
  • إِلَىٰٓ for
  • أَجَلٖ a term
  • مُّسَمًّىۚ specified
  • إِنَّ Indeed
  • أَجَلَ (the) term
  • ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah
  • إِذَا when
  • جَآءَ it comes
  • لَا not
  • يُؤَخَّرُۚ is delayed
  • لَوۡ if
  • كُنتُمۡ you
  • تَعۡلَمُونَ know
He [i.e., Allāh] will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allāh, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew."
that He may forgive you some of your sins (min dhunoobikum, 'some of your sins': min may be taken as extra, because submission to God (islaam) expunges everything [of sin that was committed] previous to it; or it [min] may be understood as partitive, to point out that which is due to [those who were already God's] servants) and defer you, without chastising [you], until an appointed term, the term for death. Indeed when God's term, for your chastisement - should you not believe - comes, it cannot be deferred, if only you knew', this, you would believe.
