26. Allah extends the provision for whom He wills and restricts. And they rejoice in the life of this world [75], but the life of this world is nothing in comparison to the Hereafter except a brief enjoyment [76].

قُلۡ مَنۡ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَخۡرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ وَٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزۡقِۚ قُلۡ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا خَالِصَةٗ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ

32. Please declare: "Who has prohibited you from wearing the beautiful adornment of Allah which He brought forth for His bondsmen [65] and the pure foods "[66]. Please declare: "That is for the believers (67) in the life of this world and is exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection" (68). Thus, we fully explain the signs for the people who have knowledge.

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لَعِبٞ وَلَهۡوٞۚ وَإِن تُؤۡمِنُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ يُؤۡتِكُمۡ أُجُورَكُمۡ وَلَا يَسۡـَٔلۡكُمۡ أَمۡوَٰلَكُمۡ

Ayah 20

ٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا لَعِبٞ وَلَهۡوٞ وَزِينَةٞ وَتَفَاخُرُۢ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَتَكَاثُرٞ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡوَٰلِ وَٱلۡأَوۡلَٰدِۖ كَمَثَلِ غَيۡثٍ أَعۡجَبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُۥ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَىٰهُ مُصۡفَرّٗا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَٰمٗاۖ وَفِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞ وَمَغۡفِرَةٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِضۡوَٰنٞۚ وَمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡغُرُورِ

20.Know that this worldly life is only a sport [63] and diversive amusement and an adornment, and a source of boasting among yourselves and a rivalry in multiplication [64] of riches and children against one another. It (this life) is like the rain whose vegetation pleases the tillers (65). Then it dries up that you see it yellow. Then it becomes (66) broken pieces. And in the Hereafter there is severe (67) punishment and forgiveness from Allah and His Pleasure (68). And the life of this world is nothing but a cheerful temporary (69) enjoyment.

Ayah 14

زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلۡبَنِينَ وَٱلۡقَنَٰطِيرِ ٱلۡمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلۡفِضَّةِ وَٱلۡخَيۡلِ ٱلۡمُسَوَّمَةِ وَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ وَٱلۡحَرۡثِۗ ذَٰلِكَ مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسۡنُ ٱلۡمَـَٔابِ

14. Beautified for people is the love of the lusts [26] of women and children, and heaped-up wealth of gold and silver, fine branded horses, cattle, and crops. These are all the provisions of the worldly life [27]. And it is Allah with Whom is the best abode [28].

Ayah 185

كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ ذَآئِقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوۡنَ أُجُورَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِۖ فَمَن زُحۡزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدۡخِلَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ فَقَدۡ فَازَۗ وَمَا ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلۡغُرُورِ

185. Every soul shall taste [421] death, and you will be given your [full] compensation only on the Day of Resurrection [422]. So whoever is drawn away from the Fire and is admitted to Paradise has indeed achieved success. And the life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion [423].

36. And whatever you have been given [100] is only temporary provision of present life [101], but what is with (102) Allah is better and more enduring (103) for those who believe and place their trust in their Lord. (104)
