Sura- 28 [ Al Qasas mecca 49 ]


The Quranic Text & Ali’s version:



وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ...

28:77. "But seek, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter,

...وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا...

nor forget thy portion in this world:

...وَأَحْسِن كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ...

but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee,

...وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ...

and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land:

...إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴿٧٧﴾

for Allah loves not those who do mischief."


Asad’s Version:



28:77 (77) Seek instead, by means of what God has granted thee, [the good of] the life to come, 86 without forgetting, withal, thine own [rightful] share in this world; 87 and do good [unto others] as God has done good unto thee; and seek not to spread corruption on earth: for, verily, God does not love the spreaders of corruption!"
