 Al-Mu'minun (23):112
قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ

He (Allâh) will say: "What number of years did you stay on earth?"



 Ya-Sin (36):68
وَمَنْ نُعَمِّرْهُ نُنَكِّسْهُ فِي الْخَلْقِ أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ

And he whom We grant long life, We reverse him in creation (weakness after strength). Will they not then understand?



Taken from AOL News:

quote:
DES MOINES, Iowa (Dec. 2) - America's oldest person, a 114-year-old woman who voted in every election since women earned the right in 1920 and had the thinnest file in her doctor's office, has died.

Verona Johnston died Wednesday at home in Worthington, Ohio, said her daughter, Julie Johnson.

"She just wore out," Johnson said. "She was still very sharp up until a few months ago."

Johnston is survived by her four children, who are now all past 70.

The oldest living American is now Bettie Wilson of Mississippi, and Hendrikje Van Andel of the Netherlands is the world's oldest person, according to the Gerontology Research Group. Both are 114.

Van Andel was born June 29, 1890, and Wilson was born on Sept. 13 in that year.


  Ash-Shu'ara (26):205-207
أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَاهُمْ سِنِينَ  ¤  ثُمَّ جَاءهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُوعَدُونَ  ¤  مَا أَغْنَى عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ  ¤ 

Tell Me, if We do let them enjoy for years, And afterwards comes to them that (punishment) which they had been promised! All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them.
