So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ﴿٢١﴾

wa-idhā quri-a ʿalayhimu l-qur'ānu lā yasjudūna

And when the Qur’ān is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allāh]?

بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ ﴿٢٢﴾

bali alladhīna kafarū yukadhibūna

But those who have disbelieved deny,

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ﴿٢٣﴾

fabashir'hum biʿadhābin alīmin

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ ﴿٢٥﴾

illā alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti lahum ajrun ghayru mamnūnin

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
