We have given no man everlastingness before you. So then if you die, will they live ever after?
And before you, We did not appoint on earth a never-ending life for any human; will they, if you depart, become immortal?
We have not assigned to any mortal before thee to live forever; therefore, if thou diest, will they live forever?
AND [remind those who deny thee, O Prophet, that] never have We granted life everlasting to any mortal before thee: but do they, perchance, hope that al­though thou must die, they will live forever?”
And We appointed not for any human being before thee immortality; if thou then diest, are they to be immortals?
And We granted not to any human being immortality before you (O Muhammad SAW), then if you die, would they live forever?
We did not grant immortality to any human being before you. Should you die, are they then the immortal?
(O Muhammad), We did not grant everlasting life to any human being even before you. If you were to die, will they live for ever?
And We granted not to any human being immortality before you; then if you die, would they live forever
We appointed immortality for no mortal before thee. What! if thou diest, can they be immortal!
We did not give immortality to any human before you. If you are fated to die, will they live on forever?
We have never assigned immortality to a human before you, therefore, if you yourself die, will they live for ever?
And We did not grant to any man before you eternity [on earth]; so if you die - would they be eternal?
We made no mortal before you immortal. Will they become immortal after you die?
And We did not ordain abiding for any mortal before you. What! Then if you die, will they abide?

<p>Commentary</p><p>وَمَا جَعَلْنَا لِبَشَرٍ‌ مِّن قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَ (And We did not assign immortality to any human (even) before you. - 21:34) The preceding verses give a strong and logical rebuttal of the unfounded and exaggerated beliefs of the infidels and polytheists to the effect that Sayyidna Masih and Sayyidna ` Uzair (علیہما السلام) are the associates of God or that Masih and the Angels are God's children. Unable to come up with a satisfactory answer to the rational and logical arguments given by the Qur'an, the infidels of Makkah were in despair and wished for the death of the Holy Prophet ﷺٍ. This has been mentioned in some other verses also, like e.g. نَّتَرَ‌بَّصُ بِهِ رَ‌يْبَ الْمَنُونِ (52:30). In this verse (34) Allah Ta` ala has given two answers to their pitiable wish. One, that even if the Holy Prophet ﷺ died early how would it help them? If they thought that they could use the death of the Holy Prophet ﷺ as an argument against his prophethood, they were very much mistaken, because all the other Prophets (علیہم السلام) whose prophethood they themselves had accepted, also died when their time came. Thus, if the death of their own prophets did not alter their position as prophets, how could the death of the Holy Prophet ﷺ change his position? Secondly, if their purpose in wishing for his early death was only to appease their frustration, then they should have known that death is universal, and everybody has to die sooner or later.</p><p>اگر بمرد عدو جأٰے شادمانی نیست کہ زندگانیء مانیز جاودانی نیست</p><p>If an enemy dies, it is not to be rejoiced, because our own life is not eternal.</p>
