Quran 4:107 — An-Nisaa, verse 107
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Do not argue for those who betray their own souls: God does not love anyone given to treachery and sin.
وَلَا تُجَادِلْ عَنِ الَّذِينَ يَخْتَانُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ خَوَّانًا أَثِيمًا
walā tujādil ʿani alladhīna yakhtānūna anfusahum inna l-laha lā yuḥibbu man kāna khawwānan athīman
