Until, when they arrive [at the place of Judgement], He will say, "Did you deny My signs while you encompassed them not in knowledge, or what [was it that] you were doing?"

— Saheeh International

until, when they come before Him, He will say, ‘Did you deny My messages without even taking them in? Or what were you doing?’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Till, when they come (before their Lord at the place of reckoning), He will say: "Did you deny My Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) whereas you comprehended them not by knowledge (of their truth or falsehood), or what (else) was it that you used to do?"

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