Quran 23:43 — The Believers (Al-Mu'minun)

No community can advance its predetermined fate, nor delay it.

[23:42] Subsequently, we established other generations after them.

[23:44] Then we sent our messengers in succession. Every time a messenger went to his community, they disbelieved him. Consequently, we annihilated them, one after the other, and made them history. The people who disbelieved have perished.
