Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Qasas 28:60

Word by word

وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَىْءٍ فَمَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا ۚ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allāh is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?

وما أُعطيتم -أيها الناس- من شيء من الأموال والأولاد، فإنما هو متاع تتمتعون به في هذه الحياة الدنيا، وزينة يُتزيَّن بها، وما عند الله لأهل طاعته وولايته خير وأبقى; لأنه دائم لا نفاد له، أفلا تكون لكم عقول -أيها القوم- تتدبرون بها، فتعرفون الخير من الشر؟
