Ayah 11 of 43

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

Lahoo mu'aqqibaatum mim baini yadaihi wa min khalfihee yahfazoonahoo min amril laah; innal laaha laa yughaiyiru maa biqawmin hattaa yughaiyiroo maa bianfusihim; wa izaaa araadal laahu biqawmin sooo'an falaa maradda lah; wa maa lahum min dooniheeminw waal
11. For each person, there are angels in succession before [28] and behind him, guarding him by Allah’s command [29].

And when Allah intends to bring calamity upon a people, it cannot be averted [31], and they have no protector besides Him [32].

Then the foam rises from the water, and from what they heat in the fire to make ornaments or utensils [48], arises foam similar to it. Thus, Allah illustrates [49] truth and falsehood. The foam is blown away [50], but what benefits mankind remains on earth [51]. Thus, Allah sets forth the examples [52].
