وَلَوْ And if يُؤَاخِذُ Allah were to seize ٱللَّهُ Allah were to seize ٱلنَّاسَ the mankind بِظُلْمِهِم for their wrongdoing مَّا not تَرَكَ He (would) have left عَلَيْهَا upon it مِن any دَآبَّةٍۢ moving creature وَلَـٰكِن but يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ He defers them إِلَىٰٓ for أَجَلٍۢ a term مُّسَمًّۭى ۖ appointed فَإِذَا Then when جَآءَ comes أَجَلُهُمْ their terms لَا not يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ they (will) remain behind سَاعَةًۭ ۖ an hour وَلَا and not يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ they can advance (it) ٦١
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].
