وَلَوْ

أَهْلَ
الْكِتَابِ
آمَنُوا
وَاتَّقَوْا
لَكَفَّرْنَا
عَنْهُمْ
سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ
وَلَأَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ
جَنَّاتِ
النَّعِيمِ
wa-law ʾanna ʾahla l-kitābi ʾāmanū wa-ttaqaw la-kaffarnā ʿanhum sayyiʾātihim wa-la-ʾadkhalnāhum jannāti n-naʿīmi
If only the People of the Book had believed and been righteous, We should indeed have blotted out their iniquities and admitted them to gardens of bliss.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Had the People of the Book believed and been Godwary, We would surely have absolved them of their misdeeds and admitted them into gardens of bliss.
