اللَّهَ
لَا
يُغَيِّرُ
مَا
بِقَوْمٍ
حَتَّى
يُغَيِّرُوا
مَا
بِأَنفُسِهِمْ
وَإِذَا
أَرَادَ
اللَّهُ
بِقَوْمٍ
سُوءًا
فَلَا
مَرَدَّ
لَهُ
وَمَا
لَهُم
مِّن

Everyone is guarded and protected on all sides by the order of God. God does not change the condition of a nation unless it changes what is in its heart. When God wants to punish a people, there is no way to escape from it and no one besides God will protect them from it.
