Surah Az-Zumar (39:22)

اَفَمَنۡ شَرَحَ اللّٰهُ صَدۡرَهٗ لِلۡاِسۡلَامِ فَهُوَ عَلٰى نُوۡرٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهٖؕ فَوَيۡلٌ لِّلۡقٰسِيَةِ قُلُوۡبُهُمۡ مِّنۡ ذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِؕ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ‏ ۝

Afaman sharaha Allahu sadrahulil-islami fahuwa AAala noorin min rabbihi fawaylunlilqasiyati quloobuhum min thikri Allahi ola-ikafee dalalin mubeen

So is one whose breast Allāh has expanded to accept Islām and he is upon i.e., guided by a light from his Lord like one whose heart rejects it? Then woe to those whose hearts are hardened against the remembrance of Allāh. Those are in manifest error.
