Grammar Rules
Subjunctive verb
لِّيُعَذِّبَ (So that Allah may punish) 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]".
Verb form II — intensified
لِّيُعَذِّبَ (So that Allah may punish) uses form II (فَعَّلَ) — the middle letter is doubled, which makes the meaning stronger or causative.
The meaning is more intense than the basic form, or means "to make someone do [action]".
Purpose لِ (so that)
لِّيُعَذِّبَ (So that Allah may punish) 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
[It was] so that Allāh may punish the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the men and women who associate others with Him and that Allāh may accept repentance from the believing men and believing women. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.
