Grammar Rules

Emphatic لَ (indeed)

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

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

L15 إنّ and Sisters

Sahih International

And We have already sent [messengers] to nations before you, [O Muḥammad]; then We seized them with poverty and hardship that perhaps they might humble themselves [to Us].
