Quran 27:14 — An-Naml, verse 14
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
They denied them, in their wickedness and their pride, even though their souls acknowledged them as true. See how those who spread corruption met their end!
وَجَحَدُوا بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَا أَنْفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا ۚ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
wajaḥadū bihā wa-is'tayqanathā anfusuhum ẓul'man waʿuluwwan fa-unẓur kayfa kāna ʿāqibatu l-muf'sidīna
