Overview (Verses 75 - 76)

The sūrah then instructs the Prophet to pray against them in the form of a joint appeal to God to add to the misery to be suffered by the side which persisted in error. This is to continue until God fulfils His promise either in this life or in the life to come: Say: As for those who live in error, may the Most Merciful lengthen their span of life!’ But when they see the fulfilment of that of which they have been forewarned, be it suffering or the Last Hour, they will realize who is worst in position and weaker in forces. God advances in guidance those who seek His guidance. Good deeds of lasting merit are, in your Lord’s sight, worthy of greater recompense, and yield far better returns. (Verses 75-76)
 
They claim that they follow better and superior guidance to that advocated by Muĥammad and his followers, and their evidence is their wealth and luxuries. Be that as it may! Muĥammad will appeal to his Lord to give increase to each side: the one in error and the one following right guidance. Then when what Muĥammad promises comes to pass, which is the triumph of the believers over those in error, or the final punishment they receive on the Day of Judgement, they will realize which of the two sides is worse in position, weaker in forces. On that day, the believers will rejoice and feel their superiority: “God advances in guidance those who seek His guidance. Good deeds of lasting merit are, in your Lord’s sight, worthy of greater recompense, and yield far better returns.” (Verse 76) This is certainly better than all that in which human beings find pleasure and enjoyment.
