1. وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا لَأَسْمَعَهُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ أَسْمَعَهُمْ لَتَوَلَّوْا وَهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ

   Translation by words

   وَلَوْ

   And if

   عَلِمَ

   (had) known

   ٱللَّهُ

   Allah

   فِيهِمْ

   in them

   خَيْرًا

   any good,

   لَّأَسْمَعَهُمْ

   surely, He (would) have made them hear.

   وَلَوْ

   And if

   أَسْمَعَهُمْ

   He had made them hear,

   لَتَوَلَّوا۟

   surely they would have turned away,

   وَّهُم

   while they

   مُّعْرِضُونَ

   (were) averse.

   Had Allah known any good in them, He would have made them hear. And if He had made them hear, they would (still) have turned away, while they were refusing.
