أَثُمَّ إِذَا مَا وَقَعَ ءَامَنتُم بِهِۦٓ ءَآلْـَٰٔنَ وَقَدْ كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

10:91

ءَآلْـَٰٔنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all eight occurrences of the temporal item ٱلْآن. Six locate a newly reached present in commands, declarations, or changed circumstances. Two add the interrogative hamza to challenge belief or submission delayed until punishment is occurring. The questioning force evaluates timeliness but preserves the same present-moment reference. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
