Quran 18:53 — Al-Kahf, verse 53
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
The evildoers will see the Fire and they will realize that they are about to fall into it: they will find no escape from it.
وَرَأَى الْمُجْرِمُونَ النَّارَ فَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ مُوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا
waraā l-muj'rimūna l-nāra faẓannū annahum muwāqiʿūhā walam yajidū ʿanhā maṣrifan
