The Holy Quran 70:41 — Surah Al-Ma'arij

Arabic text

عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ

Translation

...to substitute them with people better than them. We certainly have the power (to do this and anything else We wish to do).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

We can bring a people better than you: that is, when We can bring in their place those better than them, why can We not create them themselves a second time? Can they escape from Our control and go anywhere?
