Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
And those who deny future life think aloud the thoughts passing through their minds: "There is only this present life " they say, " we die and as the grass upon the earth shall our posterity be ", then they shall also die and their posterity live, until time does away with life and reduces this world into a useless form and all time shall appear but short time, but indeed as no time". So they think, and with their ignorance of the facts, their action of evidence fails to convince their minds, and their supposition is formed on grounds admittedly insufficient
And they say, “There is nothing but our life of this world, we die and we live and nothing destroys us but time,” and they have no knowledge of that, they do nothing but guess.
