Surely for those who persecute believers men and women and do not repent afterwards is the punishment of Hell and the punishment of burning.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ لَهُمْ جَنّٰتٌ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ەۗ ذٰلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْكَبِيْرُۗ

innallażīna āmanụ wa 'amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti lahum jannātun tajrī min taḥtihal-an-hār, żālikal-fauzul-kabīr
