Al-Inshiqaq 84:20–23

They do not prostrate

فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ٢٠ وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ٢١ بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ ٢٢ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ ٢٣

Surah mind map
The meaning, simply

So what keeps them from believing after the signs became clear? And when the Quran is recited to them they do not prostrate to Allah. Instead the disbelievers deny, and Allah knows best what they hide in their chests.
