Quran 39:26 — Az-Zumar, verse 26
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
God gave them the punishment of disgrace in this world to taste; the punishment will be even harder in the Hereafter, if only they knew.
فَأَذَاقَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْخِزْيَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ
fa-adhāqahumu l-lahu l-khiz'ya fī l-ḥayati l-dun'yā walaʿadhābu l-ākhirati akbaru law kānū yaʿlamūna
