Al-Quran 23:81 - Surah Al-Mumenoon Ayah #81 - English Translation

23:80

وَهُوَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَلَهُ اخْتِلَافُ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

And it is He who gives life and causes death, and His is the alternation of the night and the day. Then will you not reason?

23:81

بَلْ قَالُوا مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْأَوَّلُونَ

Rather, they say like what the former peoples said.

23:82

قَالُوا أَإِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَامًا أَإِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ

They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?

23:83

لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَآبَاؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِنْ قَبْلُ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."

23:84

قُلْ لِمَنِ الْأَرْضُ وَمَنْ فِيهَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Say, [O Muḥammad], "To whom belongs the earth and whoever is in it, if you should know?"
