Surah Al-A'raaf · Ayah 37·Makkī

37

فَمَنْ مِمَّنِ عَلَى أَوْ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مِّنَ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا أَيْنَ مَا مِن عَنَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَنَّهُمْ ﴿٣٧﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until when Our messengers come to them to take them in death, they will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us," and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.
