Rubama yawaddu allatheena kafaroo law kanoo muslimeena

ذَرۡهُمۡ يَأۡكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ وَيُلۡهِهِمُ ٱلۡأَمَلُۖ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ

Never did We destroy a population that had not a term decreed and assigned beforehand.

Law ma tateena bialmalaikati in kunta mina alssadiqeena

"Why bringest thou not angels to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?"

Ma nunazzilu almalaikata illa bialhaqqi wama kanoo ithan munthareena

We send not the angels down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!

إِنَّا نَحۡنُ نَزَّلۡنَا ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ

Inna nahnu nazzalna alththikra wainna lahu lahafithoona

We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

Wama yateehim min rasoolin illa kanoo bihi yastahzioona

But never came a messenger to them but they mocked him.

كَذَٰلِكَ نَسۡلُكُهُۥ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ

Kathalika naslukuhu fee quloobi almujrimeena

Even so do we let it creep into the hearts of the sinners -

13

لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ وَقَدۡ خَلَتۡ سُنَّةُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

La yuminoona bihi waqad khalat sunnatu alawwaleena
