﴿ وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ ﴾

“and, behold, Ours is [the dominion over] the life to come as well as [over] this earlier part [of your life]:”

(And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former) and to Us belong the reward of the life of the world and that of the Hereafter; it is also said that this means: to Us belong the life of the world in which We bestow knowledge and success and also the Hereafter in which We bestow reward and honour.
