Ali 'Imran 3:106

Word by word

يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهٌ وَتَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهٌ ۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْوَدَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ أَكَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَـٰنِكُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ

On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve [i.e., reject faith] after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."

يوم القيامة تَبْيَضُّ وجوه أهل السعادة الذين آمنوا بالله ورسوله، وامتثلوا أمره، وتَسْوَدُّ وجوه أهل الشقاوة ممن كذبوا رسوله، وعصوا أمره. فأما الذين اسودَّت وجوههم، فيقال لهم توبيخًا: أكفرتم بعد إيمانكم، فاخترتم الكفر على الإيمان؟ فذوقوا العذاب بسبب كفركم.
