وَمَنْ يَهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِۚ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُمْ اَوْلِيَٓاءَ مِنْ دُونِه۪ۜ وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ عَلٰى وُجُوهِهِمْ عُمْياً وَبُكْماً وَصُماًّۜ مَأْوٰيهُمْ جَهَنَّمُۜ  كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنَاهُمْ سَع۪يراً

Waman yahdi Allahu fahuwa almuhtadiwaman yudlil falan tajida lahum awliyaa min doonihiwanahshuruhum yawma alqiyamati AAalawujoohihim AAumyan wabukman wasumman ma/wahumjahannamu kullama khabat zidnahum saAAeera

And whom God guides, he is guided; and whom He sends astray, for them thou wilt find no allies besides Him. And We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces — blind and dumb and deaf — their shelter is Gehenna; whenever it subsides, We will increase for them an inferno.
