وَاِذَا تُتْلٰى عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ تَعْرِفُ ف۪ي وُجُوهِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا الْمُنْكَرَۜ يَكَادُونَ يَسْطُونَ بِالَّذ۪ينَ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتِنَاۜ قُلْ اَفَاُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرٍّ مِنْ ذٰلِكُمْۜ اَلنَّارُۜ وَعَدَهَا اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُواۜ وَبِئْسَ الْمَص۪يرُ۟

Say thou: “Then shall I inform you of worse than that? The Fire God has promised to those who ignore warning! And evil is the journey’s end.”
