The Holy Quran 13:26 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

ٱللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ وَفَرِحُوا۟ بِٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَا فِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعٌ

Translation

Allaah increases sustenance for whoever He pleases and reduces (sustenance for whoever He pleases). They (the Kuffaar) rejoice (boast) about (their wealth and positions in) the life of this world whereas the life of this world is a worthless article in comparison with the Aakhirah (therefore, despite their boasting, they have nothing if they do not earn the pleasures of the Aakhirah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Worldly prosperity is not the measure of good fortune: that is, good fortune and wretchedness are not decided by looking at worldly luxury and plenty. Nor is it necessary that one to whom Allah has given more provision and money in the world is accepted in His court.
