The Holy Quran 35:32 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ۖ فَمِنْهُمْ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ وَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ وَمِنْهُمْ سَابِقٌۢ بِٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ

Translation

Thereafter (after revealing the Qur'aan to Rasulullaah ﷺ), We made those of Our bondsmen whom We chose (the Mu'mineen) inheritors of the Book (the Qur'aan). Of them were those who oppressed (wronged) their (own) souls (by committing sins), while there were those who were moderate (who neither sinned, nor did more than the Faraa'idh and Waajibaat). There were also those who were leaders (advanced) in good deeds by the command of their Rabb (those who refrained from sin and besides the Faraa'idh and Waajibaat, also excelled in performing optional good deeds). This (revelation of the Qur'aan to mankind) is Allaah's extreme grace.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The inheritors of the Quran: that is, after the Prophet ﷺ, He made heirs of this Book this Ummah, which as a whole is better and higher than all other nations. However, not all members of the Ummah are alike. Among them are those who, despite sound faith, fall into sins (these are the ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهٖ “wrongers of their own selves”)
