Quran Surah Anbiya (Chapter 21) – Verse 44
AoA, is there a cross reference what current science says? JazakAllah
بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ وَءَابَاۤءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَیۡهِمُ ٱلۡعُمُرُۗ أَفَلَا یَرَوۡنَ أَنَّا نَأۡتِی ٱلۡأَرۡضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنۡ أَطۡرَافِهَاۤۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلۡغَـٰلِبُونَ ﴿ ٤٤ ﴾
• ابوالاعلی مودودی:
اصل بات یہ ہے کہ ان لوگوں کو اور ان کے آبا و اجداد کو ہم زندگی کا سروسامان دیے چلے گئے یہاں تک کہ ان کو دن لگ گئے۔ مگر کیا انہیں نظر نہیں آتا کہ ہم زمین کو مختلف سمتوں سے گھٹاتے چلے آرہے ہیں؟ پھر کیا یہ غالب آجائیں گے؟ (44)

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَؤُلَاء وَآبَاءهُمْ حَتَّى طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِي الْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا أَفَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ.
In fact, the real thing is that We provided means and resources to them and to their forefathers until a long period passed over them in this situation [44] Yet, do they not see that We are moving towards this land by diminishing its borders [45] So, will they alone remain dominant? [46] (Quran – 21:44)
(Excerpt from Al-Bayan: Javed Ahmed Ghamidi)
(Translated by Dr. Shehzad Saleem)
___________________________
[44]. Here the real reason of their evasion and arrogance has been exposed: because of spending a long period of time in the inebriation of their status and political authority, they regard themselves to be very superior and it is this conceit that has made them indifferent to God’s messenger.
[45]. Ie., the land of Makkah. This is a reference to the conquests reaped by the Islamic message in the whereabouts of Makkah. The Almighty has regarded it to be His move. The implication is that if they want to see a sign why do they not see the sign appearing before their eyes: the influence of the islamic message is spreading to the nearby tribes and it was very evident that one day this city too will be conquered by the onslaught.
[46]. Ie., even after witnessing the signs of the conquest of the truth, do they think that they will remain dominant.
