Surah Al-Qalam 68:49

The Pen · Verse 49 of 52 · Juz 29 · Page 566

لَّوْلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ

If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

Translation: Saheeh International

Tafsir

Had it not been for a grace a mercy from his Lord that reached him he would have surely been cast out of the belly of the whale onto a wilderness a desolate land while he was blameworthy — but he was shown mercy and was therefore cast out blameless.
