Just think: If We let them enjoy (the good things of life) for a few years more,
Therefore observe, that if We give them some comforts for some years, –
What thinkest thou? If We give them enjoyment of days for many years,
But hast thou ever considered [this]: If We do allow them to enjoy [this life] for some years,
Beholdest thou? - if We let them enjoy for years.
Tell Me, if We do let them enjoy for years,
Have you considered: if We let them enjoy themselves for some years.
Did you consider that if We were to let them enjoy life for many years
Think, if We do let them enjoy for years,
Hast thou then seen, if We content them for (long) years,
Tell me, should We let them enjoy for some years,
What do you see? If We gave them enjoyment for years,
Then have you considered if We gave them enjoyment for years
Do you not see that even if We give them respite for years
Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,
Afaraayta in mattaAAn<u>a</u>hum sineen<b>a</b>
Think! If We let them enjoy life for some years,
Seest thou? If We do let them enjoy (this life) for a few years,
أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ
206. O Messenger! So tell me, How will it if I was to let these disbelievers enjoy the bounties for a lengthy period of time and then the punishment they were promised came to them after that period of enjoyment.

<p>أَفَرَ‌أَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ ﴿205﴾</p><p>So tell me, If We give them enjoyment for years, - 26:205.</p><p>There is a hint in this verse that those who are bestowed with long life in this world by Allah Ta’ ala, it is His grace on them. But those who show ingratitude for this grace and do not submit to Islam, to them this respite and grace will not be of any avail. Imam Zuhri (رح) has related that Sayyidna ` Umar ibn ` Abdul Aziz (رح) used to recite this verse every morning by holding his beard and addressing his Self:</p><p>نھارک یا مغرور سھو و غفلۃ ولیلک نوم والرّدیٰ لک لازم</p><p>فلا انت فی الایقاظ یقظان حازم ولا انت فی النّوّام ناجِ و سالم</p><p>وتعٰی الٰی ما سوف تکرہ غبّہ کذٰلک فی الدّنیا تعیش البھایٔم</p><p>` O the duped one! Your whole day is spent in negligence and the night in sleep, while death is inevitable for you. Neither you are awake among the alert and woken nor are you the one who will get salvation from among the sleepers. You keep endeavoring for things which will soon bring you unpleasant results. Cattle and animals live like this in the world'.</p>
