(19:73) And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?" (19:74) And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance? (19:75) Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers." (19:76) And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse. (19:77) Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?" (19:78) Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise? (19:79) No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively.
