Surah Al-Mu'minun — Ayah 83 (23:83)
لَقَدۡ وُعِدۡنَا نَحۡنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَٰذَا مِن قَبۡلُ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٨٣
English translation (Saheeh International)
We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples."
Brief commentary
We were promised this, i.e. resurrection after death, and so were our predecessors promised this before, but we did not see this promise fulfilled. These are only the false tales and lies of the previous people”.
