Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 20 Taha, Ayat 131-131
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيۡنَيۡكَ اِلٰى مَا مَتَّعۡنَا بِهٖۤ اَزۡوَاجًا مِّنۡهُمۡ زَهۡرَةَ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا ۙ لِنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِيۡهِ ؕ وَرِزۡقُ رَبِّكَ خَيۡرٌ وَّاَبۡقٰى
﴿20:131﴾
(20:131) Do not turn your eyes covetously towards the embellishments of worldly
life that We have bestowed upon various kinds of people to test them. But the
clean provision bestowed upon you113 by your Lord is better and more
enduring.
Notes
113. It means: It does not behoove you and your companions to be envious of
the riches of the wicked people who are amassing wealth by unlawful means. The
best thing for you is the lawful provision which you earn by your hard labor,
even though this may be meager in quantity. That is better for the pious and
righteous and is of everlasting virtue.
