Aya 69
69
كَالَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم كانوا أَشَدَّ مِنكُم قُوَّةً وَأَكثَرَ أَموالًا وَأَولادًا فَاستَمتَعوا بِخَلاقِهِم فَاستَمتَعتُم بِخَلاقِكُم كَمَا استَمتَعَ الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِكُم بِخَلاقِهِم وَخُضتُم كَالَّذي خاضوا ۚ أُولٰئِكَ حَبِطَت أَعمالُهُم فِي الدُّنيا وَالآخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُولٰئِكَ هُمُ الخاسِرونَ

Shabbir Ahmed

There have been people like you before who were mightier than you in strength, more affluent than you in wealth and children and party. They enjoyed their share of this worldly life. And you have been enjoying your share, just as they did, and you indulge in idle talk as they did. Such are the people whose works have perished in the world and in the life to come. And it is they, yes, they who are the losers.
