سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ ٱللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا
Sunnata All a hi allatee qad khalat min qablu walan tajida lisunnati All a hi tabdeel a n
such being God's way which has ever obtained in the past - and never wilt thou find any change in God's way!27
  - Mohammad Asad

This reference to "God's way" (sunnat Allah) is twofold: on the one hand, "you are bound to rise high if you are [truly] believers" ( 3:139 ), and, on the other, "God does not change men's condition unless they change their inner selves" ( 13:11 ), in both the positive and negative connotations of the concept of "change".

Such has been the practice of Allah in the past; and you shall find no change in the practice of Allah.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'This is' Allah's way, already long established 'in the past'. And you will find no change in Allah's way.
  - Mustafa Khattab
It is the law of Allah which hath taken course aforetime. Thou wilt not find for the law of Allah aught of power to change.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
(Such has been) the practice. (Approved) of Allah already in the past: no change wilt thou find in the practice (approved) of Allah. 4901
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xxxiii. 62.
