20:16

فَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكَ عَنْهَا مَن لَّا يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَتَرْدَىٰ

falā yaṣuddannaka ʿanhā man lā yu'minu bihā wa-ittabaʿa hawāhu fatardā

So do not let one avert you from it who does not believe in it and follows his desire, for you [then] would perish.

— Saheeh International

Do not let anyone who does not believe in it and follows his own desires distract you from it, and so bring you to ruin.’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

"Therefore, let not the one who believes not therein (i.e. in the Day of Resurrection, Reckoning, Paradise and Hell.), but follows his own lusts, divert you therefrom, lest you perish.

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