Quran 36:43 — Yaseen, verse 43
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
If We wished, We could drown them, and there would be no one to help them: they could not be saved.
وَإِنْ نَشَأْ نُغْرِقْهُمْ فَلَا صَرِيخَ لَهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنْقَذُونَ
wa-in nasha nugh'riq'hum falā ṣarīkha lahum walā hum yunqadhūna
