Al Imran-178, Surah The Family of Imran Verse-178

And let not those who disbelieve reckon that We prolong their time for their good. We only give them respite that they may grow in sinfulness and for them is a disgracing torment.

And let not those who disbelieve deem that We respite them for their good: We respite them only that they may increase in sin; and theirs shall be a torment ignominious.

Let the faithless not suppose that the respite that We grant them is good for their souls: We give them respite only that they may increase in sin, and there is a humiliating punishment for them.

The unbelievers must not think that the respite We give them augurs well. We do so that they sink deeper into sin, and suffer an ignominious doom.

So believe you in Allah and His Messenger; and if you believe and do right, for you is measureless reward.

And let not the disbelievers think that Our postponing of their punishment is good for them. We postpone the punishment only so that they may increase in sinfulness. And for them is a disgracing torment.

Those who buy disbelief at the price of faith can do no harm to Allah, and for them is a painful chastisement.

And let not those who disbelieve think that Our granting them respite is better for their souls; We grant them respite only that they may add to their sins; and they shall have a disgraceful chastisement.
