Negation (not/no)

أَفَلَا (Then (do) not) is a negation word — it makes the next word negative, like "not" or "no".

We add "not" or "no" to negate what follows.

Question marker

أَفَلَا (Then (do) not) marks a question — it turns the sentence into a question.

We rearrange the English into question form.
