Quran 27:66 — An-Naml, verse 66
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
their knowledge cannot comprehend the Hereafter; they are in doubt about it; they are blind to it.
بَلِ ادَّارَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِنْهَا ۖ بَلْ هُمْ مِنْهَا عَمُونَ
bali iddāraka ʿil'muhum fī l-ākhirati bal hum fī shakkin min'hā bal hum min'hā ʿamūna
