10:100

وَمَا كَانَ لِنَفْسٍ أَن تُؤْمِنَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلرِّجْسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

wamā kāna linafsin an tu'mina illā bi-idh'ni l-lahi wayajʿalu l-rij'sa ʿalā alladhīna lā yaʿqilūna

And it is not for a soul [i.e., anyone] to believe except by permission of Allāh, and He will place defilement upon those who will not use reason.

— Saheeh International

No soul can believe except by God’s will, and He brings disgrace on those who do not use their reason.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

It is not for any person to believe, except by the Leave of Allâh, and He will put the wrath on those who are heedless.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
