The Holy Quran 45:24 — Surah Al-Jathiyah

Arabic text

وَقَالُوا۟ مَا هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَآ إِلَّا ٱلدَّهْرُ ۚ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ۖ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ

Translation

They (the Kuffaar) say, "This is nothing but our worldly life (after which there will be no other life). We live and die and it is only time that will destroy us (we die only because our bodily functions deteriorate with age)." They have no proof for this but only speculate (because there are many who die long before old age).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The False Belief of the Materialists Who Ascribe Everything to Time: that is, [according to them,] there is no life other than the life of this world: there is only this one world, in which we die and live.
