Allah’s Way
سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِي قَدۡ خَلَتۡ مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ ٱللَّهِ تَبۡدِيلࣰا ٢٣
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.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
The established way of Allah which has occurred before; you will not find any change in the way of Allah.
