لا تحسبن الذين يفرحون بما اتوا ويحبون ان يحمدوا بما لم يفعلوا فلا تحسبنهم بمفازة من العذاب ولهم عذاب اليم

Think not that those Who exult in what they Have brought about, and love To be praised for what They have not done,— Think not that they Can escape the Penalty. For them is a Penalty Grievous indeed.
