The Holy Quran 34:54 — Surah Saba

Arabic text

وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَاعِهِم مِّن قَبْلُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ فِى شَكٍّ مُّرِيبٍۭ

Translation

A barrier will fall (be set) between them and the desires they hoped for, just as it occurred to the groups before them. (They will therefore not be given the opportunity to repent and accept Imaan. All the expectations they had about their gods saving them in the Aakhirah will also vanish into thin air.) Indeed, they were ever in a confused doubt (and therefore they did not accept Imaan).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Everlasting failure: that is, between what they long for — for example, faith that is accepted [by Allah] or salvation, or a return to the world, or worldly pleasures, luxury and comfort — between these things and these disbelievers a firm barrier has been set up. They can never reach them.
