Quran 2:64 — Al-Baqara, verse 64
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Even after that you turned away. Had it not been for God’s favour and mercy on you, you would certainly have been lost.
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ فَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لَكُنْتُمْ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
thumma tawallaytum min baʿdi dhālika falawlā faḍlu l-lahi ʿalaykum waraḥmatuhu lakuntum mina l-khāsirīna
