Surah Al-An'aam · Ayah 31·Makkī

31

قَدْ ٱلَّذِينَ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا عَلَىٰ مَا فِيهَا وَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَلَا مَا ﴿٣١﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Those will have lost who deny the meeting with Allah, until when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, "Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it," while they bear their burdens on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.
