Az-Zukhruf · Ayah 33 · Juz 25 · Page 491

وَلَوۡلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗ لَّجَعَلۡنَا لِمَن يَكۡفُرُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمۡ سُقُفٗا مِّن فِضَّةٖ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيۡهَا يَظۡهَرُونَ ٣٣

Wa lawlā ay yakūnan-nāsu ummataw wāḥidatal lajaʿalnā limay yakfuru bir-raḥmāni libuyūtihim suqufam min fiḍḍatiw wa maʿārija ʿalayhā yaẓharūn.

And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers],1 We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount.

Translation: Sahih International
