24:39
وَالَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
أَعْمَالُهُمْ
كَسَرَابٍ
بِقِيعَةٍ
يَحْسَبُهُ
الظَّمْآنُ
مَاءً
حَتَّى
إِذَا
جَاءَهُ
لَمْ
يَجِدْهُ
شَيْئًا
وَوَجَدَ
اللَّهَ
عِندَهُ
فَوَفَّاهُ
حِسَابَهُ
وَاللَّهُ
سَرِيعُ
الْحِسَابِ
wa-lladhīna kafarū ʾaʿmāluhum ka-sarābin bi-qīʿatin yaḥsabuhu ẓ-ẓamʾānu māʾan ḥattā ʾidhā jāʾahū lam yajidhu shayʾan wa-wajada llāha ʿindahū fa-waffāhu ḥisābahū wa-llāhu sarīʿu l-ḥisābi
The deeds of the unbelievers are like a mirage which a thirsty man thinks is water until he goes near and finds nothing. Instead he finds God who gives him his due recompense. God's reckoning is swift.
