وَءاثَرَ الْحَيَوةَ الدُّنْيَا

فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِىَ الْمَأْوَى

Allah, the Exalted, also says,

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَاراً تَلَظَّى

لَا يَصْلَـهَأ إِلااَّ الااٌّشْقَى

الَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى

Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire. None shall enter it save the most wretched. Who denies and turns away. (92;14-16)

فَلَ صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّى

وَلَـكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى
