Quran 2:6 — Al-Baqara, verse 6
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
As for those who disbelieve, it makes no difference whether you warn them or not: they will not believe.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنْذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
inna alladhīna kafarū sawāon ʿalayhim a-andhartahum am lam tundhir'hum lā yu'minūna
