يَغْفِرْ
لَكُم
مِّن
ذُنُوبِكُمْ
وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ
إِلَى
أَجَلٍ
مُّسَمًّى
إِنَّ
أَجَلَ
اللَّهِ
إِذَا
جَاءَ
لَا
يُؤَخَّرُ
لَوْ
كُنتُمْ
تَعْلَمُونَ
yaghfir lakum min dhunūbikum wa-yuʾakhkhirkum ʾilā ʾajalin musamman ʾinna ʾajala llāhi ʾidhā jāʾa lā yuʾakhkharu law kuntum taʿlamūna
"So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."
— Abdullah Yusufali
that He may forgive you some of your sins and respite you until a specified time. Indeed when Allah’s [appointed] time comes, it cannot be deferred, if you know.’
