Surah Al-Mu'minun, ayah 71

23:71

وَلَوِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلۡحَقُّ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡ لَفَسَدَتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّۚ بَلۡ أَتَيۡنَٰهُم بِذِكۡرِهِمۡ فَهُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٧١

Walawit-taba'al-haqqu ahwā'ahum lafasadatis-samāwātu wal-ardu waman fīhinna bal ataynāhum bidhikrihim fahum 'an dhikrihim mu'ridūn

But if the Truth [i.e., Allāh] had followed their inclinations, the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them would have been ruined. Rather, We have brought them their message,965 but they, from their message, are turning away.
