The Holy Quran 42:45 — Surah Ash-Shuraa

Arabic text

وَتَرَىٰهُمْ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا خَـٰشِعِينَ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ يَنظُرُونَ مِن طَرْفٍ خَفِىٍّ ۗ وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ خَسِرُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ فِى عَذَابٍ مُّقِيمٍ

Translation

(On the Day of Qiyaamah) You will see them presented to the Fire with their heads lowered in disgrace, looking on with secretive glances (because of their intense fear). Those with Imaan will announce, “The true losers are those who will lose themselves as well as their families on the Day of Qiyaamah (by adhering to kufr and making their families do the same). Behold! The oppressors (the Kuffaar) shall suffer an everlasting punishment."
