وما منع الناس ان يؤمنوا اذ جاءهم الهدى ويستغفروا ربهم الا ان تاتيهم سنة الاولين او ياتيهم العذاب قبلا

And what is there To keep back men From believing, now that Guidance has come to them, Nor from praying for forgiveness From their Lord, but that (They ask that) the ways Of the ancients be repeated With them, or the Wrath Be brought to them Face to face?
