(He it is Who hath made you) O community of Muhammad (pbuh) (regents in the earth) dwellers in the earth after the destruction of past nations; (so he who disbelieveth) in Allah, (his disbelief be on his own head) the punishment of his disbelief is against his own soul. (Their disbelief increaseth for the disbelievers) in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an, (in their Lord's sight) in the Hereafter, (naught save abhorrence) nothing but detestation. (Their disbelief) in the life of this world (increaseth for the disbelievers naught save loss) in the Hereafter.
- 35:3939
هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَائِفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ فَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا مَقْتًا ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
He is the one who made you trustees on the earth. So he who disbelieves, will bear the consequence of his unbelief. but their unbelief will only increase disgust for unbelievers in the sight of their Lord; and their unbelief will only lead the unbelievers to greater loss.
