ذَلِكَ
بِأَنَّ
اللَّهَ
لَمْ
يَكُ
مُغَيِّرًا
نِّعْمَةً
أَنْعَمَهَا
عَلَى
قَوْمٍ
حَتَّى
يُغَيِّرُوا
مَا
بِأَنفُسِهِمْ
وَأَنَّ
اللَّهَ
سَمِيعٌ
عَلِيمٌ
dhālika bi-ʾanna llāha lam yaku mughayyiran niʿmatan ʾanʿamahā ʿalā qawmin ḥattā yughayyirū mā bi-ʾanfusihim wa-ʾanna llāha samīʿun ʿalīmun
That is because Allah never changes a blessing that He has bestowed on a people unless they change what is in their own souls, and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing:
— Ali Quli Qarai
"Because Allah will never change the grace which He hath bestowed on a people until they change what is in their (own) souls: and verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things)."
