But for the grace of God and His mercy (much harm would have been done); yet God is compassionate and kind.
And were it not for Allah’s munificence and His mercy upon you, and that Allah is Forgiving, Most Merciful – you would have tasted its outcome.
But for God's bounty to you and His mercy and that God is All-gentle, All-compassionate --
And were it not for God’s favour upon you and His grace, and that God is compassionate, a dispenser of grace...!
And had there not been Allah's grace upon you and His mercy, and that Allah was Tender and Merciful, ye had Perished.
And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, (Allah would have hastened the punishment upon you). And that Allah is full of kindness, Most Merciful.
Were it not for God’s grace upon you, and His mercy, and that God is Clement and Merciful.
If Allah had not shown His grace and mercy to you, (this scandal would have produced very evil results): Allah is indeed very Kind and Merciful.
And had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy on you, and that Allah is full of kindness, Most Merciful.
Had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, and that Allah is Clement, Merciful, (ye had been undone).
Were it not for Allah’s grace and His mercy upon you, and that Allah is all-kind, all-merciful…
If it was not for the bounty of Allah to you and His Mercy, and Allah is the Gentle, the Most Merciful.
And if it had not been for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy... and because Allah is Kind and Merciful.
Were it not for the favor and mercy of God upon you (you would have faced painful punishment in this world and the life to come). God is Compassionate and Merciful.
And were it not for Allah's grace on you and His mercy, and that Allah is Compassionate, Merciful.
