سُوْرَةُ الْقَصَصِ
Surah Al-Qasas (28) — Ayah 77
وَٱبْتَغِ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِن كَمَآ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ ٱلْفَسَادَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿77﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
"But seek, with that (wealth) which Allâh has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and forget not your portion of lawful enjoyment in this world; and do good as Allâh has been good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allâh likes not the Mufsidûn (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupters)."

77-1. That is, spend your wealth in those places and ways where Allah Almighty likes, by this your Hereafter will be improved and you will receive its reward there.
77-2. That is, spend moderately even on the permissible things of the world. What are the permissible things of the world? Eating, drinking, clothing, house, marriage, etc. The meaning is that just as your Lord has a right over you, similarly your own self, your wife and children, and guests, etc. also have rights over you. Give every rightful person his due right.
77-3. Allah has favored you by giving you wealth, so do favor upon the creation by spending on them.
77-4. That is, your purpose should not be to spread corruption in the land. Similarly, do not mistreat the creation instead of treating them well, nor commit sins, for all these things spread corruption.
