35:43

ٱسْتِكْبَارًۭا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَكْرَ ٱلسَّيِّئِ ۚ وَلَا يَحِيقُ ٱلْمَكْرُ ٱلسَّيِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِهِۦ ۚ فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا سُنَّتَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ۚ فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًۭا ۖ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ ٱللَّهِ تَحْوِيلًا ٤٣

Saheeh International

[Due to] arrogance in the land and plotting of evil; but the evil plot does not encompass except its own people. Then do they await except the way of the former peoples? But you will never find in the way of Allah any change, and you will never find in the way of Allah any alteration.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

اسْتِكْبَارًا فِي الاَْرْضِ(They took to flight because of their) arrogance in the land,means, they were too arrogant to follow the signs of Allah.وَمَكْرَ السَّيِّيِand their plotting of evil.means, they plotted to prevent people from following the path of Allah.وَلَا يَحِيقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّيُ إِلاَّ بِأَهْلِهِBut the evil plot encompasses only him who makes it.means, the evil consequences of that will come back upon them and not on others.فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلاَّ سُنَّتَ الاَْوَّلِينَThen, can they expect anything (else) but the Sunnah (way of dealing) of the peoples of old,meaning, the punishment of Allah for disbelieving in His Messengers and going against His command.فَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًand no turning off will you find in Allah's Sunnah.means, it does not change or alter, and this is what happens to every disbeliever.وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّتِ اللَّهِ تَحْوِيلًand no turning off will you find in Allah's Sunnah.means,وَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوءًا فَلَ مَرَدَّ لَهُBut when Allah wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning back of it. (13:11)This means, no one can remove that from them or ward it off from them.And Allah knows best
