وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى
And were it not for a word that had already gone out from your Lord, and a term already named, it would have been bound to come.
اور اگر تیرے رب کی طرف سے ایک بات پہلے سے طے نہ ہو چکی ہوتی، اور ایک نامزد مدت مقرر نہ ہوتی، تو یہ عذاب ان پر لازم ہو کر ضرور آ پہنچتا۔
