﴿ وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌۭ ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةًۭ ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ ﴾

“And for all people a term has been set: and when [the end of] their term approaches, they can neither delay it by a single moment, nor can they hasten it.”

(And every nation) every people that have a religion (hath its term) an appointed time for its destruction, (and when its term) the time of their destruction (cometh, they cannot put it off an hour) they are not given reprieve one fraction of a second after their appointed time (nor yet advance (it)) they are not destroyed before the appointed time, even if it be by one fraction of a second.
