Surah 33. Al-Ahzab, Ayah 62
| سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ ۖ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا |
| Transliteration | : | sunnah 'allaah fe 'alladhena khalaw min qablu wa- lan tajid li- sunnah 'allaah tabdel(an) |
| Pickthall | : | That was the way of Allah in the case of those who passed away of old; thou wilt not find for the way of Allah aught of power to change. |
| Asad | : | Such has been God's way with those who [sinned in like manner and] passed away aforetime - and never wilt thou find any change in God's way!81 |
| Malik | : | This has been the Way of Allah regarding such people among those who lived before you, and you will never find any change in the Way of Allah. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | (Such was) the practice (approved) of Allah among those who lived aforetime: no change wilt thou find in the practice (approved) of Allah. 3770 |
Note - 81Cf. {35:42-44}, and particularly the last paragraph of
verse {43}.

Note - 3770The Jewish law was much more severe: see notes 3703 and
3704 to xxxiii. 26. That severity is mitigated in Islam.
But it is a universal principle that any element which
deliberately refuses to obey law and aggressively tries
to subvert all order in society, secretly and openly,
must be effectively suppressed, for the preservation of
the life and health of the general community.
