  1. لَهُۥ مُعَقِّبَٰتٞ مِّنۢ بَيۡنِ يَدَيۡهِ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦ يَحۡفَظُونَهُۥ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوۡمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمۡۗ وَإِذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِقَوۡمٖ سُوٓءٗا فَلَا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥۚ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَالٍ

    For him [i.e., each one] are successive [angels]631 before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allāh.632 Indeed, Allāh will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allāh intends for a people ill,633 there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron.

    Translator notes (3)
    1. 631 Replacing each other by turn.
    2. 632 The phrase may also be rendered "...who guard him from [everything except] the decree of Allāh."
    3. 633 i.e., punishment or destruction because of their sins.
