The Holy Quran 16:45 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

أَفَأَمِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ أَن يَخْسِفَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Translation

Do those who plot evil schemes (against Islaam and the Muslims) feel (absolutely) assured that Allaah will not plunge them into the earth or afflict them with a punishment from where they do not perceive?
