The Holy Quran 17:20 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

كُلًّا نُّمِدُّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنْ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُورًا

Translation

We grant to all (to both groups), to these (those who desire the Aakhirah) and to those (those who desire the world) from the grace (bounty) of your Rabb (in this world). The grace (bounty) of your Rabb is not restricted (Allaah gives to everyone without His treasures being depleted).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, Almighty Allah, in accordance with His wisdom and purpose, grants this world to some of those who seek this world, and the Hereafter to all those who seek the Hereafter; no one can prevent or obstruct His giving. Or the meaning is that, whether one seeks this world or seeks the Hereafter, both receive a share of worldly help as is expedient.
