فَإِن لَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكَ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّمَا يَتَّبِعُونَ أَهْوَاءَهُمْ ۚ وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِّنَ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
Fa il lam yastajeeboo laka fa'lam annamaa yattabi'oona ahwaaa'ahum; w aman adallu mimmanit taba'a hawaahu bighari hudam minal laah; innal laaha laa yahdil qawmaz zaalimeen

- Maka jika mereka tidak menjawab (tantanganmu) ketahuilah bahwa sesungguhnya mereka hanyalah mengikuti hawa nafsu mereka (belaka). Dan siapakah yang lebih sesat daripada orang yang mengikuti hawa nafsunya dengan tidak mendapat petunjuk dari Allah sedikitpun. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada orang-orang yang zalim.
