24:57

لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ۖ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

lā taḥsabanna alladhīna kafarū muʿ'jizīna fī l-arḍi wamawāhumu l-nāru walabi'sa l-maṣīru

Never think that the disbelievers are causing failure [to Allāh] upon the earth. Their refuge will be the Fire - and how wretched the destination.

— Saheeh International

Do not think [Prophet] that the disbelievers can escape God on earth; the Fire will be their final home, an evil end.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Consider not that the disbelievers can escape in the land. Their abode shall be the Fire - and worst indeed is that destination.

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