The Holy Quran 20:131 — Surah Taha

Arabic text

وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ

Translation

Never strain your eyes towards (do not long for) the splendour (glitter) of the worldly life that We have granted groups of them (the Kuffaar) to enjoy as a test for them (to see which of them will use these bounties for Allaah's obedience and which of them will use it to anger Allaah). The provision of your Rabb (in the Aakhirah) is best and more lasting (than anything of this world).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Do not look at the means of enjoyment of the disbelievers: that is, at the means of pleasure and luxury that We have given in this world to various kinds of disbelievers, for example the Jews, the Christians, the idolaters, the Magians and others, never so much as raise your eyes (just as you have not looked until now).
