مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ

سُورَةُ الحِجۡرِ
English — Sahih International
No nation will precede its term, nor will they remain thereafter.
اردو — مودودی
کوئی قوم نہ اپنے وقت مقرر سے پہلے ہلاک ہوسکتی ہے، نہ اُس کے بعد چھوٹ سکتی ہے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Tidak ada suatu umatpun yang dapat mendahului ajalnya, dan tidak (pula) dapat mengundurkan(nya).
Ibn Kathir
Every Township has its allotted Time
Allah is informing us that He never destroys a township until He has established evidences for it and its allotted time has ended. When the time for a nation's destruction has come, He never delays it, and He never moves its appointed time forward. This was a message and a warning to the people of Makkah, telling them to give up their Shirk, their stubbornness and disbelief for which they deserved to be destroyed.
المُيَسَّر
لا تتجاوز أمة أجلها فتزيد عليه، ولا تتقدم عليه، فتنقص منه.
