Quran 67:20 — Al-Mulk, verse 20
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
What force can help you if the Lord of Mercy does not? The disbelievers are truly deluded.
أَمَّنْ هَـٰذَا الَّذِي هُوَ جُنْدٌ لَكُمْ يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ ۚ إِنِ الْكَافِرُونَ إِلَّا فِي غُرُورٍ
amman hādhā alladhī huwa jundun lakum yanṣurukum min dūni l-raḥmāni ini l-kāfirūna illā fī ghurūrin
