the unbelievers swore on oath emphatically that if an admonisher came to them they would be guided better than the other communities. but when the admonisher came to them their aversion for the truth increased as did their arrogance in the land and their plotting of evil. but their evil plots will turn back on the plotters themselves. so can they expect any thing but what befell the earlier people? you will not find any change in the law of god nor will you find divine law mutable.
وأقسموا بالله جهد أيمانهم لئن جاءهم نذير ليكونن أهدى من إحدى الأمم فلما جاءهم نذير ما زادهم إلا نفورا استكبارا في الأرض ومكر السيئ ولا يحيق المكر السيئ إلا بأهله فهل ينظرون إلا سنت الأولين فلن تجد لسنت الله تبديلا ولن تجد لسنت الله تحويلا
