وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى
And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, punishment would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].

Revelation context of the surah
Surah-wideTa-Ha is Meccan, dated to the middle Meccan period. In the account of Umar's conversion, the pages being read in his sister's house are reported to have been from this surah. It stresses that the Quran was sent down not to distress the Prophet but as a reminder, and recounts the story of Moses at length.
