83تِلكَ الدّارُ الآخِرَةُ نَجعَلُها لِلَّذينَ لا يُريدونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الأَرضِ وَلا فَسادًا ۚ وَالعاقِبَةُ لِلمُتَّقينَMuhammad AsadAs for that [happy] life in the hereafter, We grant it [only] to those who do not seek to exalt themselves on earth, nor yet to spread corruption: for the future belongs to the God-conscious.1This last clause makes it clear that, in order to have spiritual value, man's "not seeking" worldly grandeur or self-indulgence in things depraved must be an outcome, not of indifference or of a lack of opportunity, but solely of a conscious moral choice.
