Sheba · Verse 8 of 54

أَفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَمْ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ ۗ بَلِ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ فِي الْعَذَابِ وَالضَّلَالِ الْبَعِيدِ

Abdul Mannan Omar

Has he invented a falsehood against Allah, or has a spirit (seized) him?- Nay, it is those who believe not in the Hereafter, that are in (real) Penalty, and in farthest error.

Ahmed Ali

Has he fabricated a lie about God, or is he possessed?" Not so; but those who believe not in the Hereafter are themselves afflicted and far astray.
