سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 34
وَلَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَصَبَرُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَا كُذِّبُوا۟ وَأُوذُوا۟ حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰهُمْ نَصْرُنَا ۚ وَلَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكَ مِن نَّبَإِى۟ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ ﴿34﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Verily, (many) Messengers were denied before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), but with patience they bore the denial, and they were hurt; till Our Help reached them, and none can alter the Words (Decisions) of Allâh. Surely there has reached you the information (news) about the Messengers (before you).

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
34. Messengers before you were also denied, but they patiently endured being rejected and persecuted until Our help reached them. And none can alter the words [38] of Allah. And surely, some of the news of the messengers has already come to you.

What are Allah’s Ways or Laws for Making the Truth Prevail?
By “words” here is meant those laws or established ways of Allah that come into play in the battle between truth and falsehood. What happens is that whenever a Prophet or Messenger begins his mission, people from all sides rise up in opposition to him. Then, among them, some people of sound nature and noble character believe in the Prophet and support him. Now, this group of believers and the Prophet himself become targets of the opponents’ oppression and violence, enduring hardships and remaining steadfast and patient. Gradually, their numbers continue to increase. Then comes a time when these oppressed people, despite being relatively weak, gird themselves to confront falsehood. This is the moment when Allah’s help comes to them—never before this. It is never Allah’s law to make the truth prevail over falsehood by creating miraculous circumstances on His own, without first testing the believers and making them pass through difficulties and trials. These are such laws that no one can change. As you have already learned from the stories of previous Messengers.
