Inna qaroona kana min qawmi moosa fabagha AAalayhim waataynahu mina alkunoozi ma inna mafatihahu latanoo-o bialAAusbati olee alquwwati ith qala lahu qawmuhu la tafrah inna Allaha la yuhibbu alfariheena\n76. Q\u0101r\u016bn was doubtless,\n Of the people of Moses; but\n He acted insolently towards them:\n Such were the treasures We\n Had bestowed on him, that\n Their very keys would\n Have been a burden to\n A body of strong men.\n Behold, his people said to him:\n \"Exult not, for God loveth not\n Those who exult (in riches).\n77. Waibtaghi feema ataka Allahu alddara al-akhirata wala tansa naseebaka mina alddunya waahsin kama ahsana Allahu ilayka wala tabghi alfasada fee al-ardi inna Allaha la yuhibbu almufsideena\n77. \"But seek, with the (wealth)\n Which God has bestowed on thee,\n The Home of the Hereafter,\n Nor forget thy portion in this\nWorld: but do thou good,\n As God has been good\n To thee, and seek not\n (Occasions for) mischief in the land:\n For God loves not those\n Who do mischief.\"\n78. Qala innama ooteetuhu AAala AAilmin AAindee awa lam yaAAlam anna Allaha qad ahlaka min qablihi mina alqurooni man huwa ashaddu minhu quwwatan waaktharu jamAAan wala yus-alu AAan thunoobihimu almujrimoona\n78. He said: \"This has been given\n To me because of a certain\n Knowledge which I have.\"\n Did he not know that God\n Had destroyed, before him,\n (Whole) generations,\u2014which were\n Superior to him in strength\n And greater in the amount\n (Of riches) they had collected?\n But the wicked are not\n Called (immediately) to account\n For their sins.\n79. Fakharaja AAala qawmihi fee zeenatihi qala allatheena yureedoona alhayata alddunya ya layta lana mithla ma ootiya qaroonu innahu lathoo haththin AAatheemin\n79. So he went forth among\n His people in the (pride\n Of his worldly) glitter.\n Said those whose aim is\n The Life of this World:\n \"Oh! that we had the like\n Of what Q\u0101r\u016bn has got!\n For he is truly a lord\n Of mighty good fortune!\"\n80. Waqala allatheena ootoo alAAilma waylakum thawabu Allahi khayrun liman amana waAAamila salihan wala yulaqqaha illa alssabiroona\n80. But those who had been granted\n (True) knowledge said: \"Alas\n For you! The reward of God\n (In the Hereafter) is best\n For those who believe\n And work righteousness: but this\nNone shall attain, save those\n Who steadfastly persevere\n (in good).\"\n81. Fakhasafna bihi wabidarihi al-arda fama kana lahu min fi-atin yansuroonahu min dooni Allahi wama kana mina almuntasireena\n81. Then We caused the earth\n To swallow up him and\n His house; and he had not\n (The least little) party\n To help him against God,\n Nor could he defend himself.\n82. Waasbaha allatheena tamannaw makanahu bial-amsi yaqooloona waykaanna Allaha yabsutu alrrizqa liman yashao min AAibadihi wayaqdiru lawla an manna Allahu AAalayna lakhasafa bina waykaannahu la yuflihu alkafiroona\n82. And those who had envied\n His position the day before\n Began to say on the morrow:\n \"Ah! It is indeed God\n Who enlarges the provision\"'\n Or restricts it, to any\n Of His servants He pleases!\n Had it not been that God\n Was gracious to us, He\n Could have caused the earth\n To swallow us up! Ah!\n Those who reject God\n Will assuredly never prosper.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXVIII.: Qa\u1e63a\u1e63, or the N...","type":"page"}
