And if they had been guided, they would have known that the divine decree commanded us.
لَعَلِمُوا — they would have known. This carries a result-marking prefix, 'then/surely', on a past verb with a 'they' subject, 'they would have known'. The prefix flags the apodosis of the counterfactual, naming what would have followed had they been guided.
