Quran 16:22 — An-Nahl, verse 22
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Your God is the One God. As for those who deny the life to come, their hearts refuse to admit the truth and they are arrogant.
إِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ ۚ فَالَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ مُنْكِرَةٌ وَهُمْ مُسْتَكْبِرُونَ
ilāhukum ilāhun wāḥidun fa-alladhīna lā yu'minūna bil-ākhirati qulūbuhum munkiratun wahum mus'takbirūna
