21:44

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هٰٓؤُ𐻾لَٓاءِ وَاٰبَٓاءَهُمْ حَتّٰى طَالَ عَلَیْهِمُ الْعُمُرُؕ اَفَلَا یَرَوْنَ اَنَّا نَاْتِی الْاَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ اَطْرَافِهَاؕ اَفَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

Bal mattaAAna haolai waabaahum hatta tala AAalayhimu alAAumuru afala yarawna anna natee alarda nanqusuha min atrafiha afahumu alghaliboona

Translations

But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? So it is they who will overcome

Saheeh International

Nay, but We gave these and their fathers ease until life grew long for them. See they not how we aim to the land, reducing it of its outlying parts? Can they then be the victors
