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)."

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
77. Seek, with what Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter [103], and do not forget your share of the world. And do good to others as Allah has done good to you. And do not seek to spread corruption in the land, for Allah does not like those who spread corruption.
[103]
Qarun is Advised to Fulfill the Rights:
That is, the best use of your wealth is to spend it in the way of Allah and strive to improve your Hereafter. Not that, intoxicated by wealth, you begin to look down upon others. Eat, drink, and wear from it yourself, and whatever remains, use it to financially assist your relatives and other people. Do good to Allah’s creation just as Allah has done good to you, and earn the prayers of Allah’s creation. And remain obedient to Allah. It is not a good way to use your wealth and riches to impose yourself over others. Fulfill the rights of others that are in your wealth, and do not become a cause of economic and social inequalities.
