An-Nur 24:39 والذين كفروا اعمالهم كسراب بقيعة يحسبه الظمان ماء حتى اذا جاءه لم يجده شييا ووجد الله عنده فوفاه حسابه والله سريع الحساب ٣٩

24:39
وَٱلَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوٓاْ
أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ
كَسَرَابِۭ
بِقِيعَةٖ

حَتَّىٰٓ
إِذَا

شَيۡـٔٗا
وَوَجَدَ
ٱللَّهَ
عِندَهُۥ
فَوَفَّىٰهُ
حِسَابَهُۥۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
سَرِيعُ
ٱلۡحِسَابِ

Chapter 24, Page 355, Juz 18

39. But the Unbelievers,- their deeds are like a mirage in sandy deserts, which the man parched with thirst mistakes for water; until when he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing: But he finds Allah (ever) with him, and Allah will pay him his account: and Allah is swift in taking account. 40. Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light!

- A. Yusuf Ali
