Grammar Rules

Indefinite noun
قَيِّمًۭا (Straight) has no ال and takes tanwīn (the "n" sound at the end), so it means "a" or "some" — not a specific one.
We translate it as "a/an" or leave it general.

Sahih International

[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward [i.e., Paradise].
