Surah 28. Al-Qasas, Ayah 60
| وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا ۚ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | wa- maa 'otetum min shay' fa- mataac al- h.ayaah ad- dunyaa wa- zenah -haa wa- maa cinda 'allaah khayr wa- abqaa 'a- fa- laa tacqilon |
| Pickthall | : | And whatsoever ye have been given is a comfort of the life of the world and an ornament thereof; and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting. Have ye then no sense? |
| Asad | : | And [remember:] whatever you are given [now] is but for the [passing] enjoyment of life in this world, and for its embellishment- whereas that which is with God is [so much] better and more enduring. Will you not, then, use your reason? |
| Malik | : | The things which you have been given are but the provisions and adornments of this worldly life; and that which is with Allah is better and more lasting. Why don't you use your common sense? |
| Yusuf Ali | : | The (material) things which ye are given are but the conveniences of this life and the glitter thereof; but that which is with Allah is better and more enduring: will ye not then be wise? 3391 |
Note - 3391The good things of this life have their uses and serve
their convenience. But they are fleeting and their value
is infinitely lower than that of Truth and Justice and
Spiritual Well-being, the gifts which come as it were
from Allah. No wise soul will be absorbed in the one and
neglect the other, or will hesitate for a moment if it
comes to be a choice between them.
