Surah Ar-Ra'd · Ayah 5·Madanī

5

وَإِن أَءِذَا أَءِنَّا لَفِى أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ فِىٓ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمْ فِيهَا ﴿٥﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And if you are astonished, [O Muhammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?" Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
