وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنْ یُؤْمِنُٓوا اِذْ جَٓاءَهُمُ الْهُدٰى وَیَسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّهُمْ اِلَّٓا اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْاَوَّلٖینَ اَوْ یَاْتِیَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا
Wama manaAAa alnnasa an yuminoo ith jaahumu alhuda wayastaghfiroo rabbahum illa an tatiyahum sunnatu alawwaleena aw yatiyahumu alAAathabu qubulan
Translations
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them
Saheeh International
And naught hindereth mankind from believing when the guidance cometh unto them, and from asking forgiveness of their Lord unless (it be that they wish) that the judgment of the men of old should come upon them or (that) they should be confronted with the Doom
Marmaduke Pickthall
