57:29
ليلا يعلم اهل الكتاب الا يقدرون على شيء من فضل الله وان الفضل بيد الله يوتيه من يشاء والله ذو الفضل العظيم ٢٩
لِّئَلَّا يَعْلَمَ أَهْلُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَلَّا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍۢ مِّن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ ۙ وَأَنَّ ٱلْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ٢٩
لِّئَلَّا
يَعۡلَمَ
أَهۡلُ
ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ
أَلَّا
يَقۡدِرُونَ
عَلَىٰ
شَيۡءٖ
مِّن
فَضۡلِ
ٱللَّهِ
وَأَنَّ
ٱلۡفَضۡلَ
بِيَدِ
ٱللَّهِ
يُؤۡتِيهِ
مَن
يَشَآءُۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
ذُو
ٱلۡفَضۡلِ
ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
٢٩
˹This is so˺ that the People of the Book ˹who deny the Prophet˺ may know that they do not have any control over Allah’s grace, and that all grace is in Allah’s Hands. He grants it to whoever He wills. For Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.

لِّئَلَّا يَعْلَمَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ (so that the People of the Book may know ....57:29) The negative particle la [ no ] is grammatically redundant [ but rhetorically it serves to emphasise the expression ]. This final verse states that the People of the Book need to know that faith in Prophet ` Isa (علیہ السلام) is not necessarily faith in the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . In the circumstances, they do not deserve any Divine grace unless they embrace faith in the Last Prophet t. Allah, the Pure and Exalted, knows best!

Alhamdulillah
