وَلَوْ And if walaw Allah were to seize yuākhidhu Allah were to seize l-lahu the mankind l-nāsa for their wrongdoing biẓul'mihim not mā He (would) have left taraka upon it ʿalayhā any min moving creature dābbatin but walākin He defers them yu-akhiruhum for ilā a term ajalin appointed musamman Then when fa-idhā comes jāa their terms ajaluhum not lā they (will) remain behind yastakhirūna an hour sāʿatan and not walā they can advance (it) yastaqdimūna
And if Allāh were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon it [i.e., the earth] any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
