they swore their most solemn oaths that if a warner should ever come to them they would be better guided than any other community. but when a warner did come to them it only increased their aversion and they behaved arrogantly in the land and plotted evil. but the plotting of evil only rebounds on those who plot. are they but looking for the way the previous peoples were dealt with? you will never find any change in the ways of god nor will you ever find gods decree averted.
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
