The Holy Quran 29:22 — Surah Al-'Ankabut

Arabic text

وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

Translation

You can never escape (Allaah's punishment) on earth, nor in the sky. Besides Allaah You have no Protecting Friend nor any Helper (who can save you from punishment).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

There is no refuge for one guilty before Allah: that is, whoever Almighty Allah wishes to punish cannot escape punishment by creeping into the holes of the earth or by flying into the sky. No height or depth can give refuge to one guilty before Allah, nor can any power come to his support and aid.
