12. 12

    وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا

21. 21

    وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩

    And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?

22. 22

    بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُكَذِّبُونَ

    But those who have disbelieved deny,

23. 23

    وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ

    And Allāh is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.

24. 24

    فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

    So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

25. 25

    إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ

    Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
