The Holy Quran 13:39 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

يَمْحُوا۟ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثْبِتُ ۖ وَعِندَهُۥٓ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ

Translation

Allaah erases (from a Shari'ah) whatever (laws of a previous Shari'ah) He wills and keeps in place (whatever laws He wills, so that it may apply to them as well). With Him is the Mother (Original) of Books (the Lowhul Mahfoodh, in which nothing is ever changed).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah is the Master of decree and destiny (qada and qadar): that is, in accordance with His wisdom He abrogates whichever command He wills and keeps in force whichever He wills. He wipes out whichever nation He wills and establishes whichever He wills in its place. He changes the effect of whichever causes He wills and leaves unchanged whichever He wills.
