24:39

وَالَّذٖینَ كَفَرُٓوا اَعْمَالُهُمْ كَسَرَابٍ بِقٖیعَةٍ یَحْسَبُهُ الظَّمْاٰنُ مَٓاءًؕ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا جَٓاءَهُ لَمْ یَجِدْهُ شَیْـًٔا وَوَجَدَ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهُ فَوَفّٰیهُ حِسَابَهُؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَرٖیعُ الْحِسَابِۙ

Waallatheena kafaroo aAAmaluhum kasarabin biqeeAAatin yahsabuhu alththamanu maan hatta itha jaahu lam yajidhu shayan wawajada Allaha AAindahu fawaffahu hisabahu waAllahu sareeAAu alhisabi

Translations

But those who disbelieved - their deeds are like a mirage in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until, when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing but finds Allah before Him, and He will pay him in full his due; and Allah is swift in account

Saheeh International

As for those who disbelieve, their deeds are as a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one supposeth it to be water till he cometh unto it and findeth it naught, and findeth, in the place thereof, Allah Who payeth him his due; and Allah is swift at reckoning
