The Holy Quran 47:30 — Surah Muhammad

Arabic text

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَأَرَيْنَـٰكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُم بِسِيمَـٰهُمْ ۚ وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِى لَحْنِ ٱلْقَوْلِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَعْمَـٰلَكُمْ

Translation

(Even if We do not reveal their identities to you,) You will surely recognise them by their manner of speech (because they will be ones always objecting and mocking). Allaah has knowledge of their actions (and will punish them accordingly).
