The Home of the Hereafter
تِلۡكَ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةُ نَجۡعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوࣰّا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا فَسَادࣰاۚ وَٱلۡعَٰقِبَةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٨٣
As for that Abode of the Hereafter We assign it unto those who seek not oppression in the earth, nor yet corruption. The sequel is for those who ward off (evil).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness on earth or corruption.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, seeking exaltedness is disdaining faith and defiance; corruption is spoiling things.
Reflect
Avoid acting superior today.
