Then tranquility descended, and fear of the event was lifted.

فَنَزَلَتِ so it descended

The '-at' on this past verb is the feminine subject marker, agreeing in advance with 'tranquility' (a feminine noun) that follows. Arabic puts the verb first and lets the subject come after, so the verb already announces 'she/it' before naming what descended.

نَزَلَتْ came down

A past-tense verb with the feminine -at ending, reading impersonally here, 'it came down / a coming-down happened'. The feminine agreement looks ahead to the feminine action-noun and the visitation it describes. Arabic often opens with such a verb before its subject is spelled out.
