قُل
لَّا
أَمْلِكُ
لِنَفْسِي
ضَرًّا
وَلَا
نَفْعًا
إِلَّا
مَا
شَاءَ
اللَّهُ
لِكُلِّ
أُمَّةٍ
أَجَلٌ
إِذَا
جَاءَ
أَجَلُهُمْ
فَلَا
يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ
سَاعَةً
وَلَا
يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

Say, ‘I have no control over any benefit for myself nor [over] any harm except what Allah may wish. There is a time for every nation: when their time comes, they shall not defer it by a single hour nor shall they advance it.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
Say: "I have no power over any harm or profit to myself except as Allah willeth. To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation)."
