Surah Al-Hijr — Ayah 5 (15:5)
مَّا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ ٥
English translation (Saheeh International)
No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.
Brief commentary
A nation will not be destroyed before its appointed time, and its destruction will not be delayed when its time arrives. The wrongdoers should not have hope in Allah delaying their fate.
