Al-Isra 17:97

Word by word

وَمَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِهِۦ ۖ وَنَحْشُرُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ عُمْيًا وَبُكْمًا وَصُمًّا ۖ مَّأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ كُلَّمَا خَبَتْ زِدْنَـٰهُمْ سَعِيرًا

And whoever Allāh guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - you will never find for them protectors besides Him, and We will gather them on the Day of Resurrection [fallen] on their faces - blind, dumb and deaf. Their refuge is Hell; every time it subsides, We increase [for] them blazing fire.

ومن يهده الله فهو المهتدي إلى الحق، ومن يضلله فيخذلْه ويَكِلْه إلى نفسه فلا هادي له من دون الله، وهؤلاء الضُّلال يبعثهم الله يوم القيامة، ويحشرهم على وجوههم، وهم لا يرون ولا ينطقون ولا يسمعون، مصيرهم إلى نار جهنم الملتهبة، كلما سكن لهيبها، وخمدت نارها، زدناهم نارًا ملتهبة متأججة.
