The Holy Quran 28:77 — Surah Al-Qasas

Arabic text

وَٱبْتَغِ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِن كَمَآ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ ٱلْفَسَادَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ

Translation

"Seek (to earn) the Home of the Aakhirah using the means (wealth and status) that Allaah has granted you (by using these means to please Allaah) and do not forget (to take) your portion of this world (as rewards to the Aakhirah by spending for Allaah's pleasure). Be good (towards others) just as Allaah has been good to you (by granting you so much wealth). And do not seek (to create) corruption (evil) on earth, for Allaah does not like those who create corruption." (evil)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The proper use of wealth: that is, the wealth given by Allah is meant for a person to make it provision for the Hereafter, not so that, drunk with heedlessness, he begins to walk with the gait of pride and arrogance. that is, eat and dress according to your share, and with the surplus wealth earn the Hereafter, and do good to the creation.
