Sura 13 Ar-Ra'd (The Thunder), ayah 11

  1. لَهُ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ۗ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءًا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ وَالٍ

    Translation by words

    لَهُۥ
    For him
    مُعَقِّبَٰتٌ
    (are) successive (Angels)
    مِّنۢ
    from
    بَيْنِ
    (before)
    يَدَيْهِ
    (him)
    وَمِنْ
    and from
    خَلْفِهِۦ
    and behind him,
    يَحْفَظُونَهُۥ
    who guard him
    مِنْ
    by
    أَمْرِ
    (the) command
    ٱللَّهِ
    (of) Allah.
    إِنَّ
    Indeed,
    ٱللَّهَ
    Allah
    لَا
    (does) not
    يُغَيِّرُ
    change
    مَا
    (the condition)
    بِقَوْمٍ
    of a people,
    حَتَّىٰ
    until
    يُغَيِّرُوا۟
    they change
    مَا
    what
    بِأَنفُسِهِمْ
    (is) in themselves.
    وَإِذَآ
    And when
    أَرَادَ
    wills
    ٱللَّهُ
    Allah
    بِقَوْمٍ
    for a people
    سُوٓءًا
    misfortune,
    فَلَا
    then (there is) no
    مَرَدَّ
    turning away
    لَهُۥ
    of it,
    وَمَا
    and not
    لَهُم
    for them
    مِّن
    from
    دُونِهِۦ
    besides Him
    مِن
    any
    وَالٍ
    protector.

    For each one are successive (angels) before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.
