43. On account of their arrogance in the land and their plotting of Evil, but the plotting of
Evil will hem in only the authors thereof. Now are they but looking for the way the
ancients were dealt with? But no change wilt thou find in Allah.s way (of dealing): no
turning off wilt thou find in Allah.s way (of dealing).

44. Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the End of those before them,-
though they were superior to them in strength? Nor is Allah to be frustrated by anything
whatever in the heavens or on earth: for He is All-Knowing. All-Powerful.
