سورة الإسراء، الآية ٧٧
سُنَّةَ مَن قَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَا وَلَا تَجِدُ لِسُنَّتِنَا تَحْوِيلًا ٧٧
sunnata man qad arsalnā qablaka min rusulinā walā tajidu lisunnatinā taḥwīlan
[That is Our] established way for those We had sent before you of Our messengers; and you will not find in Our way any alteration.
Verse 77 of Surah Al-Isra (17:77), a Meccan surah, is in juz 15, on page 290 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 73 reciters.
79 recitations by 73 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
The issue of their not remaining after you except for a short while is the constant practice of Allah with respect to the Messengers before you, namely that whenever a Messenger was exiled by his people, Allah sent punishment upon them. And you will not find, O Messenger, any change in my practice, but rather you will find it to be established and constant.
Such was Our way with the messengers We sent before you, and you will find no change in Our way.
(This was Our) Sunnah (rule or way) with the Messengers We sent before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), and you will not find any alteration in Our Sunnah (rule or way).
(Such was Our) method in the case of those whom We sent before thee (to mankind), and thou wilt not find for Our method aught of power to change.
(This was Our) way with the messengers We sent before thee: thou wilt find no change in Our ways.
(This is Our) course with regard to those of Our messengers whom We sent before you, and you shall not find a change in Our course.
(This was) the enactment for the ones We already sent before you of Our Messengers; and you will not find any transference to Our Enactment.
وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنتَ فِيهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
But Allāh would not punish them while you, [O Muḥammad], are among them, and Allāh would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.
