Surah Al-Mu'minun — Ayah 43 (23:43)
مَا تَسۡبِقُ مِنۡ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسۡتَـٔۡخِرُونَ ٤٣
English translation (Saheeh International)
No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].
Brief commentary
None of these rejecting nations will precede the time fixed for their destruction, nor will they be delayed from it, regardless of whatever means they have at their disposal.
