مَا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ
﴿٤٣﴾
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا تَتْرَا كُلَّ مَا جَاء أُمَّةً رَّسُولُهَا كَذَّبُوهُ فَأَتْبَعْنَا بَعْضَهُم بَعْضًا وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ فَبُعْدًا لِّقَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
﴿٤٤﴾
ثُمَّ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَى وَأَخَاهُ هَارُونَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
﴿٤٥﴾
إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاسْتَكْبَرُوا وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا عَالِينَ
﴿٤٦﴾
فَقَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ لِبَشَرَيْنِ مِثْلِنَا وَقَوْمُهُمَا لَنَا عَابِدُونَ
﴿٤٧﴾
فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا مِنَ الْمُهْلَكِينَ
﴿٤٨﴾
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ
﴿٤٩﴾
وَجَعَلْنَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُ آيَةً وَآوَيْنَاهُمَا إِلَى رَبْوَةٍ ذَاتِ قَرَارٍ وَمَعِينٍ
﴿٥٠﴾
يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ
﴿٥١﴾
وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُونِ
﴿٥٢﴾
فَتَقَطَّعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ زُبُرًا كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ
﴿٥٣﴾
فَذَرْهُمْ فِي غَمْرَتِهِمْ حَتَّى حِينٍ
﴿٥٤﴾
أَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّمَا نُمِدُّهُم بِهِ مِن مَّالٍ وَبَنِينَ
﴿٥٥﴾
نُسَارِعُ لَهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ بَل لَّا يَشْعُرُونَ
﴿٥٦﴾
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
﴿٥٧﴾
وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ
﴿٥٨﴾
وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِرَبِّهِمْ لَا يُشْرِكُونَ

(23/43) No nation can advance its time nor can it defer it.
(23/44) Then We sent Our apostles successively. Whenever there came to a nation its apostle, they impugned him, so We made them follow one another [to extinction] and We turned them into folktales. So away with the faithless lot!
(23/45) Then We sent Moses and Aaron, his brother, with Our signs and a manifest authority
(23/46) to Pharaoh and his elites; but they acted arrogantly and they were a tyrannical lot.
(23/47) They said, ‘Shall we believe two humans like ourselves, while their people are our slaves?’
(23/48) So they impugned the two of them, whereat they were among those who were destroyed.
(23/49) Certainly We gave Moses the Book so that they might be guided,
(23/50) and We made the son of Mary and his mother a sign, and sheltered them in a level highland with flowing water.
(23/51) O apostles! Eat of the good things and act righteously. Indeed I know best what you do.
(23/52) Indeed this community of yours is one community, and I am your Lord, so be wary of Me.
(23/53) But they fragmented their religion among themselves, each party boasting about what it had.
(23/54) So leave them in their stupor for a while.
(23/55) Do they suppose that whatever aid We provide them in regard to wealth and children [is because]
(23/56) We are eager to bring them good? No, they are not aware!
(23/57) Indeed those who are apprehensive for the fear of their Lord,
(23/58) and believe in the signs of their Lord,
(23/59) and do not ascribe partners to their Lord;
