The Majestic Quran

has made for you both night and day so you may rest in one and seek his bounty in the other , and be thankful. 74 On the Day that He calls them, saying: “Where are the partners that you ascribed to Me?” 75 On that Day, We shall take from each community a witness and say, “Fetch Me your proof,” so they know the truth belongs to God, and that whatever they invented has deserted them. T K , I 76 Korah was from Moses’ people, but unkind to the m 16 . We gave him so much treasure that the keys alone would have weighed down a dozen or so strong men. His people told him, “Do not be proud of your wealth . God dislikes those who brag. 77 Instead use some of what God has given you to secure your place in the Final home, at the same time not losing your share of this world. Treat others as well as God has treated you; and do not wreak havoc in the land. God dislikes those who wreak havoc.” 78 Korah said, “I’ve been given it because of my expertise and knowledge.” Didn’t he realise that God destroyed people of previous generations who were far stronger and wealthier than him? The guilty won’t be asked about their sins. A K 79 So one day he went out among his people, dressed in his finery; and those who yearn for this worldly life said, “Oh, if only we had been given the same as Korah. He’s most fortunate!” 80 But those who had been given knowledge said, “Woe to you! God’s reward for believers and the righteous is better; the patient will achieve that.” 81 So it was We made the Earth swallow him and his mansion; there was no rescue party to help him beside God, nor was he able to protect himself. 82 Those who only the other day had longed to be in his place said, “Alas! It seems God gives in abundance to whichever of His servants He pleases, and in strict measure. If God hadn’t been gracious to us, He might have destroyed us too . Alas! It’s apparent the ungrateful fail.” 83 Such is the Final Abode; We grant it to those who desire neither grandeur nor wreak havoc in the land. And the best outcome is for those mindful of God . 84 Anyone who does good deeds will be generously rewarded with something wonderful ; and anyone who does evil deeds will be rewarded for what they did.
