وَلَوْ نَشَاءُ لَمَسَخْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِهِمْ فَمَا اسْتَطَاعُوا مُضِيًّا وَلَا يَرْجِعُونَ

Dan jikalau Kami menghendaki pastilah Kami ubah mereka di tempat mereka berada; maka mereka tidak sanggup berjalan lagi dan tidak (pula) sanggup kembali.

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return.
