Quran 40:33 — Al-Ghaafir, verse 33
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
the Day you will turn tail and flee with no one to defend you from God! Whoever God leaves to stray will have no one to guide him.
يَوْمَ تُوَلُّونَ مُدْبِرِينَ مَا لَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ عَاصِمٍ ۗ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ هَادٍ
yawma tuwallūna mud'birīna mā lakum mina l-lahi min ʿāṣimin waman yuḍ'lili l-lahu famā lahu min hādin

- the day you turn about, retreating, having none to defend you from God; and whomsoever God leads astray, no guide has he.
- Muhammad Asad
- the Day when you will [wish to] turn your backs and flee, having none to defend you against God: for he whom God lets go astray can never find any guide.
- Sahih International
- The Day you will turn your backs fleeing; there is not for you from Allāh any protector. And whoever Allāh sends astray - there is not for him any guide.
