Surah Ar-Ra'd · Ayah 18·Madanī

18

لِلَّذِينَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ لَهُۥ لَوْ أَنَّ لَهُم مَّا فِى مَعَهُۥ بِهِۦٓ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ﴿١٨﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

For those who have responded to their Lord is the best [reward], but those who did not respond to Him - if they had all that is in the earth entirely and the like of it with it, they would [attempt to] ransom themselves thereby. Those will have the worst account, and their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the resting place.
