The disbelievers will be told on the day of resurrection: O you who have disbelieved in Allah! Do not make excuses today for the disbelief and sins you used to commit, because your excuses will not be accepted. Today, you will be requited only for the disbelief in Allah and rejection of His Messengers you used to perpetrate in the world.
“O you who disbelieve, make no excuses this Day. You will only be recompensed for what you used to do.”
(It will be said in the Hereafter) O you who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism)! Make no excuses this Day! You are being requited only for what you used to do.1
[1] (V.66:7) See the footnote of (V.3:85).
(Then it will be said): O ye who disbelieve! Make no excuses for yourselves this day. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to do.
(They will say), "O ye Unbelievers! Make no excuses this Day! Ye are being but requited for all that ye did!"
O you who disbelieve! do not urge excuses today; you shall be rewarded only according to what you did.
O you who have disbelieved, do not excuse yourselves today; surely you are only being recompensed for whatever you were doing.

وَتَرَىٰ كُلَّ أُمَّةٍ جَاثِيَةً كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تُدْعَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ كِتَٰبِهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
And you will see every nation kneeling [from fear]. Every nation will be called to its record [and told], "Today you will be recompensed for what you used to do.
