Surah Faatir · Ayah 39·Makkī

39

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى فِى فَمَن فَعَلَيْهِ وَلَا إِلَّا وَلَا إِلَّا ﴿٣٩﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

It is He who has made you successors upon the earth. And whoever disbelieves - upon him will be [the consequence of] his disbelief. And the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them in the sight of their Lord except in hatred; and the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them except in loss.
