سورة الأنعام، الآية ٢٩
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ ٢٩
waqālū in hiya illā ḥayātunā l-dun'yā wamā naḥnu bimabʿūthīna
And they say, "There is none but our worldly life, and we will not be resurrected."
Verse 29 of Surah Al-An’am (6:29), a Meccan surah, is in juz 7, on page 131 of the mushaf. Read it in Arabic with its transliteration, translations and tafsir, and listen to it recited by 74 reciters.

These idolaters say, ‘There is no life but the life we presently have and we will not be raised to give account’.
They say, “There is nothing beyond our life in this world, and we will not be resurrected.”
And they said: "There is no (other life) but our (present) life of this world, and never shall we be resurrected (on the Day of Resurrection)."
And they say: There is naught save our life of the world, and we shall not be raised (again).
And they (sometimes) say: "There is nothing except our life on this earth, and never shall we be raised up again."
And they say: There is nothing but our life of this world, and we shall not be raised.
And they have said, "Decidedly there is (nothing) except our present life, (Literally: the lowly life, i.e., the life of this world) and in no way ever are we made to rise again."
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ
It [i.e., life] is not but our worldly life - we die and live, but we will not be resurrected.
وَقَالُوا۟ مَا هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَآ إِلَّا ٱلدَّهْرُ وَمَا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَظُنُّونَ
And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.
