Emphatic لَ (indeed)

لَئِنۢ (If) starts with لَ for emphasis — it's like saying "indeed!" or "certainly!".

We add "indeed" or "certainly" to show the emphasis.

Conditional (if/when)

لَئِنۢ (If) introduces a condition — "if this happens, then that happens".

We translate it as "if" or "when".

If you should raise your hand toward me to kill me - I shall not raise my hand toward you to kill you. Indeed, I fear Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
