18:55
وَمَا
مَنَعَ
النَّاسَ
أَن
يُؤْمِنُوا
إِذْ
جَاءَهُمُ
الْهُدَى
وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا
رَبَّهُمْ
إِلَّا
أَن
تَأْتِيَهُمْ
سُنَّةُ
الْأَوَّلِينَ
أَوْ
يَأْتِيَهُمُ
الْعَذَابُ
قُبُلًا
wa-mā manaʿa n-nāsa ʾan yuʾminū ʾidh jāʾahumu l-hudā wa-yastaghfirū rabbahum ʾillā ʾan taʾtiyahum sunnatu l-ʾawwalīna ʾaw yaʾtiyahumu l-ʿadhābu qubulan
