Quran 14:43 — Ibrahim, verse 43
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
They will rush forward, craning their necks, unable to divert their eyes, a gaping void in their hearts.
مُهْطِعِينَ مُقْنِعِي رُءُوسِهِمْ لَا يَرْتَدُّ إِلَيْهِمْ طَرْفُهُمْ ۖ وَأَفْئِدَتُهُمْ هَوَاءٌ
muh'ṭiʿīna muq'niʿī ruūsihim lā yartaddu ilayhim ṭarfuhum wa-afidatuhum hawāon
