14:18

مَثَلُ الَّذٖینَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَرَمَادٍࣙ اشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الرّٖیحُ فٖی یَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍؕ لَا یَقْدِرُونَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا عَلٰى شَیْءٍؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الضَّلَالُ الْبَعٖیدُ

Mathalu allatheena kafaroo birabbihim aAAmaluhum karamadin ishtaddat bihi alrreehu fee yawmin AAasifin la yaqdiroona mimma kasaboo AAala shayin thalika huwa alddalalu albaAAeedu

Translations

The example of those who disbelieve in their Lord is [that] their deeds are like ashes which the wind blows forcefully on a stormy day; they are unable [to keep] from what they earned a [single] thing. That is what is extreme error

Saheeh International

A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their works are as ashes which the wind bloweth hard upon a stormy day. They have no control of aught that they have earned. That is the extreme failure
