Past tense verb
وَلَيْسَتِ (And not) is a past tense verb — the action already happened and is complete.
We translate it in past tense — "did", "created", "said", etc.
Conjunction وَ (and)
وَلَيْسَتِ (And not) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Sahih International
But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment.
