ٱلْأَنْبِيَاء
21:44
بَلْ
مَتَّعْنَا
هَؤُلَاءِ
وَآبَاءَهُمْ
حَتَّى
طَالَ
عَلَيْهِمُ
الْعُمُرُ
أَفَلَا
يَرَوْنَ
أَنَّا
نَأْتِي
الْأَرْضَ
نَنقُصُهَا
مِنْ
أَطْرَافِهَا
أَفَهُمُ
الْغَالِبُونَ
bal mattaʿnā hāʾulāʾi wa-ʾābāʾahum ḥattā ṭāla ʿalayhimu l-ʿumuru ʾa-fa-lā yarawna ʾannā naʾtī l-ʾarḍa nanquṣuhā min ʾaṭrāfihā ʾa-fa-humu l-ghālibūna
We have been providing these men and their fathers with the means of enjoyment for a long time. Have they not ever considered that We populated the earth and then caused many of the inhabitants to pass away? Can they have any success (in their wickedness)?
