Al-'Ankabut 29:66

All that it</h2><p>وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الاٌّخِرَةَ لَهِىَ الْحَيَوَانُ</p><p>(Verily, the home of the Hereafter -- that is the life indeed,) means, the true everlasting life that will never end, but will continue forever and ever.</p><p>لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ</p><p>(if they but knew.) means, they would prefer that which will last over that which will pass away.

That they may disbelieve in that which We have given them, and that they may take their ease. But they will come to know.

Disdaining ungratefully Our gifts, and giving themselves up to (worldly) enjoyment! But soon will they know.

So that they become ingrate for that which We have given them, and that they take their enjoyment (as a warning and a threat), but they will come to know.

To be ungrateful for what We have given them, and to enjoy themselves. They will surely come to know.
