Materialism

O you who have believed, do not consume one another's wealth unjustly¹ but only [in lawful] business by mutual consent. And do not kill yourselves [or one another]. Indeed, Allāh is to you ever Merciful.

And whoever does that in aggression and injustice - then We will drive him into a Fire. And that, for Allāh, is [always] easy.

And do not wish for that by which Allāh has made some of you exceed others. For men is a share of what they have earned, and for women is a share of¹ what they have earned. And ask Allāh of His bounty. Indeed Allāh is ever, of all things, Knowing.

O you who have believed, do not betray Allāh and the Messenger or betray your trusts while you know [the consequence].

Say, [O Muḥammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allāh and His Messenger and jihād [i.e., striving] in His cause, then wait until Allāh executes His command. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."

O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and the monks devour the wealth of people unjustly¹ and avert [them] from the way of Allāh. And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allāh - give them tidings of a painful punishment.

So let not their wealth or their children impress you. Allāh only intends to punish them through them in worldly life and that their souls should depart [at death] while they are disbelievers.

And let not their wealth and their children impress you. Allāh only intends to punish them through them in this world and that their souls should depart [at death] while they are disbelievers.

Do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them [i.e., the disbelievers], and do not grieve over them. And lower your wing [i.e., show kindness] to the believers.

Indeed, Allāh orders justice and good conduct and giving [help] to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.

Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.

And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.

And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate

Indeed, Qārūn was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allāh does not like the exultant.

O Prophet, say to your wives, "If you should desire the worldly life and its adornment, then come, I will provide for you and give you a gracious release.

Know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. And in the Hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from Allāh and approval. And what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.

O you who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from the remembrance of Allāh. And whoever does that - then those are the losers.

Your wealth and your children are but a trial, and Allāh has with Him a great reward.

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

And they conspired an immense conspiracy

And you love wealth with immense love.

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?¹

And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.

Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you

Until you visit the graveyards.¹

No! You are going to know.

Then, no! You are going to know.

No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...¹

You will surely see the Hellfire.

Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.¹

He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.
