سُوْرَةُ فَاطِرٍ
Surah Faatir (35) — Ayah 10
مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلْعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْعِزَّةُ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ ٱلْكَلِمُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ وَٱلْعَمَلُ ٱلصَّـٰلِحُ يَرْفَعُهُۥ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَمْكُرُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۖ وَمَكْرُ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ ﴿10﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Whosoever desires honour, (power and glory), then to Allâh belong all honour, power and glory [and one can get honour, power and glory only by obeying and worshipping Allâh (Alone)]. To Him ascend (all) the goodly words, and the righteous deeds exalt it (i.e. the goodly words are not accepted by Allâh unless and until they are followed by good deeds), but those who plot evils, theirs will be severe torment. And the plotting of such will perish.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
10. 1. That is, whoever desires honor in this world and the Hereafter, then he should obey Allah; through this, he will achieve his objective because Allah alone is the Owner of the world and the Hereafter. All honor belongs to Him; whoever He grants honor to, only he will be honored, and whoever He humiliates, no power in the world can grant him honor.
10. 2. اَ لْکَلِمُ, کَلِمَہ, is a plural; by pure words is meant the glorification and praise of Allah, and recitation. "Ascend" means acceptance. Or, the angels take them up to the heavens so that Allah may reward them.
10. 3. Secretly plotting to harm someone is called "makr" (plotting). Committing disbelief and polytheism is also "makr," as in this way, the path of Allah is harmed. The conspiracies that the disbelievers of Makkah used to make against the Prophet, such as plotting to kill him, are also "makr." Hypocrisy is also "makr."
10. 4. That is, their plotting will also be ruined, and its consequences will fall upon those who commit it, as He said (وَلَا يَحِيْقُ الْمَكْرُ السَّيِّئُ) 35. Fatir: 43)
