Transliteration:( Laa tahsabannal lazeena kafaroo mu'jizeena fil ard; wa maawaahumun Naaru wa labi'sal maseer (section 7) )
"Never think that the disbelievers may escape from Our control on the earth [150]. Their refuge is the Fire, and how wretched the destination!"
This verse delivers a firm warning that disbelievers can never evade Allah’s control, no matter how free or dominant they appear on earth. The words “Never think” dismiss the illusion that anyone can escape divine justice.
Though punishment may be delayed in this world, it is never denied. Their final return is not to safety or victory, but to a dreadful outcome: “Their refuge is the Fire.”
The closing phrase, “how wretched the destination!”, emphasizes the humiliation, pain, and permanence of this fate—a warning for all who reject faith.
