والذين كفروا اعمالهم كسراب بقيعة يحسبه الظمان ماء حتى اذا جاءه لم يجده شيئا ووجد الله عنده فوفاه حسابه والله سريع الحساب

but the Unbelievers,— Their deeds are like a mirage In sandy deserts, which The man parched with thirst Mistakes for water; until When he comes up to it, He finds it to be nothing: But he finds God (Ever) with him, and God Will pay him his account: And God is swift In taking account.
