Verse (2:221)

The analysis above refers to the 221st verse of chapter 2 (sūrat l-baqarah):

Sahih International: And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember.

(2:221:5) يُؤْمِنَّ . Should be فعل مضارع مجزوم .

The form IV imperfect verb (فعل مضارع) is third person feminine plural... but it is NOT in the indicative mood (مرفوع). It is also NOT مجزوم (jussive) but rather منصوب (accusative) because of حتى .

Sorry, it should be subjunctive (mood). "Accusative" is for nouns.
