The Quranic Law of Change

The Quranic Law of Change

The Quran gives the Immutable law of change, i.e. people or nations can’t have their condition changed until they change their psyche or mindset (نفسیات) – in other words – until they have a paradigm shift. 

 ِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ 
...Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts… [Al-Qur’an, Surah 13: Verse 11] 

 ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّرًا نِعْمَةً أَنْعَمَهَا عَلَى قَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
 “Because Allah will never change the grace which He has bestowed on a people until they change what is in their (own) hearts: and verily Allah is He Who hears and knows (all things).” [Al-Qur’an, Surah 8: Verse 53]
