The Holy Quran 16:96 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُ ۖ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ بَاقٍ ۗ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوٓا۟ أَجْرَهُم بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Translation

What (pleasures and wealth) is with you (in this world) shall come to an end and what is with Allaah (the pleasures of the Aakhirah) will last forever. We shall most definitely reward those who are exercise sabr (are steadfast in all conditions) for the good deeds that they do.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

so what wisdom is there in leaving what is lasting and everlasting and preferring what is perishable and passing? that is, those who remain steadfast in the covenant of Allah and bear all difficulties and hardships with patience, their reward will not be lost. The recompense for such excellent deeds will certainly be received from Us.
