[34] That is, the wealth and riches of the world, its possessions and gold and silver, which these people consider to be the standard of a person's greatness. In the sight of Allah, these things are so insignificant that Allah could have made all the houses of the disbelievers, their doors, the roofs of their houses, their thrones and beds, their stairways—in short, every single thing of theirs—out of gold and silver. But there was certainly the danger that all people would then choose the path of disbelief, because by nature, man is extremely greedy for wealth and riches. Whereas Allah's will is to test people in every way by giving some more wealth and others less. Also, it is through this variation in sustenance in the world that the system of this world continues; otherwise, wealth and riches are such insignificant things that they are found in greater abundance with the corrupt and the most wicked types of people than with ordinary people. You have considered this wealth and riches to be the standard of greatness. And you say that prophethood should have been given to some great chief of this kind?
[35] That is, all the blessings of the Hereafter are reserved only for the righteous, and even in this world, they receive as much a share as is destined for them, and this share can even be more. But the disbelievers have no share in the Hereafter; even if they receive more wealth and riches in this world, still, in any case, the disbelievers remain the losers.
