Ayahs 70:41–42

عَلٰۤى اَنْ نُّبَدِّلَ خَیْرًا مِّنْهُمْ١ۙ وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوْقِیْنَ Open ayah 70:41 in the Quran reader

to replace them by better people than they, and there is none to outstrip Us. 29

فَذَرْهُمْ یَخُوْضُوْا وَ یَلْعَبُوْا حَتّٰى یُلٰقُوْا یَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِیْ یُوْعَدُوْنَۙ Open ayah 70:42 in the Quran reader

Hence, leave them engrossed in their vain talk and sport until they encounter that Day of theirs which they are being promised,

29 This is that for which Allah Almighty has sworn an oath of His being Lord of the Easts and Wests. It means: "As We are Owners of the Easts and Wests, the whole earth is under Our control and power, and you have no power to escape Our punishment: We can destroy you as and when We like and can create another people that may be better than you. "
Ayahs 70:43–44

یَوْمَ یَخْرُجُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَجْدَاثِ سِرَاعًا كَاَنَّهُمْ اِلٰى نُصُبٍ یُّوْفِضُوْنَۙ Open ayah 70:43 in the Quran reader

when they shall be rushing out of their graves as though racing towards the shrines of their deities. 30

خَاشِعَةً اَبْصَارُهُمْ تَرْهَقُهُمْ ذِلَّةٌ١ؕ ذٰلِكَ الْیَوْمُ الَّذِیْ كَانُوْا یُوْعَدُوْنَ۠ Open ayah 70:44 in the Quran reader

Their eyes shall be downcast and abasement shall be covering them. That is the Day which they are being promised.

30 There is a difference of opinion among the commentators about the meaning of the word nusub. SAme have interpreted it to mean idols, according to which the meaning would be: "They would be racing towards the place appointed by the Lord of Resurrection as they race today towards the shrines of their idols" ; and some others have taken nusub to mean the goal signs which are set for the competitors in a race, so that each tries to reach and touch the appointed post before the other.
