walā takūnanna mina alladhīna kadhabū biāyāti l-lahi fatakūna mina l-khāsirīna
Translation
And never be of those who deny the signs of Allāh and [thus] be among the losers.540
Notes
[540] Among the interpretations of the last two verses is that they were meant to stir the Prophet (ﷺ) to declare and confirm his certainty, which he did. Another is that although the words are addressed to the Prophet (ﷺ), they are directed to all people.

Al-Mukhtasar
Do not be of those who deny Allah’s proof and evidence, because that will make you one of those who have lost their own souls by bringing them to the point of destruction because of their disbelief. All these warnings are meant to show the seriousness of doubt and denial, despite the fact that the Prophet is protected from such things.
and never be of those who reject the signs of Allah, for then you would be among the losers.
And be not one of those who belie the Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, for then you shall be one of the losers.
And be not thou of those who deny the revelations of Allah, for then wert thou of the losers.
Nor be of those who reject the signs of Allah, or thou shalt be of those who perish.
And you should not be of those who reject the communications of Allah, (for) then you should be one of the losers.
And do not definitely be of the ones who have cried lies to the signs of Allah so as to be of the losers.
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written [i.e., described] in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and prohibits them from what is wrong and makes lawful for them what is good and forbids them from what is evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.
And Moses said, "Our Lord, indeed You have given Pharaoh and his establishment splendor and wealth in the worldly life, our Lord, that they may lead [men] astray from Your way. Our Lord, obliterate their wealth and harden their hearts so that they will not believe until they see the painful punishment."
And even if We had sent down to them the angels [with the message] and the dead spoke to them [of it] and We gathered together every [created] thing in front of them, they would not believe unless Allāh should will. But most of them, [of that], are ignorant.
Verses with similar wording
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allāh. And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
