If anyone desires [only] the fleeting life, We speed up whatever We will in it, for whoever We wish; in the end We have prepared Hell for him in which to burn, disgraced and rejected

But if anyone desires the life to come and strives after it as he should, as a true believer, his striving will be thanked

To both the latter and the former, We give some of your Lord’s bounty. [Prophet], your Lord’s bounty is not restricted

see how We have given some more than others- but the Hereafter holds greater ranks and greater favours

Set up no other god beside God, or you will end up disgraced and forsaken

Your Lord has commanded that you should worship none but Him, and that you be kind to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say no word that shows impatience with them, and do not be harsh with them, but speak to them respectfully

and lower your wing in humility towards them in kindness and say, ‘Lord, have mercy on them, just as they cared for me when I was little.’

Your Lord knows best what is in your heart. If you are good, He is most forgiving to those who return to Him

Give relatives their due, and the needy, and travellers- do not squander your wealth wastefully

those who squander are the brothers of Satan, and Satan is most ungrateful to his Lord
