Transliteration:( Wa ammal lazeena kafarooo afalam takun Aayaatee tutlaa 'alaikum fastakbartum wa kuntum qawmam mujrimeen )
"And those who disbelieved, it will be said to them: 'Were not My Verses recited to you? But you were arrogant [67], and you were a guilty people.'"
This verse refers to disbelievers who heard the Divine message through the Prophet ﷺ but rejected it due to arrogance.
As for those who died before Prophethood, if they were monotheists, they may attain salvation. If polytheists, they will be punished, though they may not be questioned in this form since the verses didn’t reach them.
Minor children and the mentally ill will not be questioned, as they are not accountable.
