Readings
لَمَّا
lammā
“There is no soul but that it has a guardian”
In this reading, in is for negation, and lammā denotes the exception.
لَمَا
la-mā
“Every soul certainly has a guardian”
In this reading, in is emphatic (lightened from inna) and la-mā reinforces this emphasis.

Explanation

These readings convey the same meaning with slightly different grammar [Makki].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
