Grammar Rules

Subjunctive verb

لِيَكْفُرُوا۟ (So that they may deny) is in the subjunctive mood — it comes after a particle like أن ("that") or لن ("will not"), which changes its ending.

We translate it as "to [verb]" or "that [someone] [verb]".

L10 Commands & Future

Purpose لِ (so that)

لِيَكْفُرُوا۟ (So that they may deny) starts with لِ showing purpose — it means "so that" or "in order to".

We add "so that" or "in order to" before the verb.

Sahih International

So that they will deny what We have granted them, and they will enjoy themselves. But they are going to know.
