لَّوْلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُومٌ
Lawl a an tad a rakahu niAAmatun min rabbihi lanubi th a bi a lAAar a i wahuwa ma th moom un
[And remember:] had not grace from his Sustainer reached him,28 he would indeed have been cast forth upon that barren shore in a state of disgrace:29
  - Mohammad Asad

Cf. 37:143 - "had he not been of those who [even in the deep darkness of their distress are able to] extol God's limitless glory": i.e., who always remember God and pray for His forgiveness.

Lit., "while he was still blameworthy", i.e., burdened with sin and unredeemed by repentance: implying that but for God's grace he would have died as a sinner.

Had his Rabb not bestowed on him His grace, he would certainly have been cast off on the naked shore, while he was condemned.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Had he not been shown grace by his Lord, he would have certainly been cast onto the open 'shore', still blameworthy.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Had it not been that favor from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Had not Grace from His Lord reached him he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore in disgrace. 5630
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xxxvii. 145-146, and n. 4126.
