O Lord, guide me, so that I do not deviate, and you say: O Lord, guide me, so that I do good.

And hopeوارْجُ
Hope, the hope,
that I might reach the ways - (37) The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses لعلي أبلغ الأسباب * أسباب السموات فأطلعَ إلى إله موسى
[Ghafir 40:36-37]

[Al-An'am 6:27]
and the answer to *lawla* is omitted, the meaning being: that We sent you, O Muhammad, to establish the proof against them and as a mercy to them, so that the punishment would not befall them without a messenger reaching them.
