Luxury and wealth

We never sent an admonisher to a habitation but its well-to-do people said: "We do not believe in what you have brought."

And (further): "We have far more wealth and children (than you), and we are not the ones to be punished."

Say: "Verily my Lord increases or restricts the provision of whosoever He will;" but most men do not understand.

It is not your wealth and children that will bring you closer to Us, except those who believe and do the right. These will be given a two-fold reward for their deeds, and will dwell in peace in the high empyrean.

But those who try to subvert Our signs will be given over to punishment

Say: "Verily my Lord increases or restricts the provision of any of His creatures as He will, and repays whatsoever you spend. He is the best of all providers."
