The Holy Quran 15:5 — Surah Al-Hijr

Arabic text

مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ

No nation can hasten their term (bring the date of their destruction forward), nor can they delay it. (Rise or fall and life or death is fixed.)

لا تتجاوز أمة أجلها فتزيد عليه، ولا تتقدم عليه، فتنقص منه.
