إِنَّ قَارُونَ کَانَ مِنْ قَوْمِ مُوسَى فَبَغَى عَلَیْهِمْ وَآتَیْنَاهُ مِنْ الْکُنُوزِ مَا إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُ لَتَنُوأُ بِالْعُصْبَةِ أُولِى الْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ لاَ تَفْرَحْ إِنَّ اللهَ لاَ یُحِبُّ الْفَرِحِینَ(( 76 ))

76- VERILY KORAH WAS OF THE PEOPLE OF MOSES (AN ISRAELITE), WHO BECAME INSOLENT TO THEM. AND WE HAD GIVEN HIM (SO MUCH) OF TREASURES, THAT THEIR VERY KEYS WAS TOO HEAVY FOR A COMPANY OF STRONG MEN TO CARRY! (REMEMBER) WHEN HIS PEOPLE SAID HIM:- ``DO NOT REJOICE WITH PRIDE, THAT ALLAH LOVES NOT THOSE WHO REJOICE IN PRIDE.''

وَابْتَغِ فِیمَا آتَاکَ اللهُ الدَّارَ الاْخِرَةَ وَلاَ تَنسَ نَصِیبَکَ مِنَ الدُّنْیَا وَأَحْسِنْ کَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللهُ إِلَیْکَ وَلاَ تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِى الاَْرْضِ إِنَّ اللهَ لاَ یُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِینَ(( 77 ))

77- AND SEEK THROUGH WHAT ALLAH HAS GIVEN YOU THE LAST ABODE, AND FORGET NOT YOUR SHARE OF THIS WORLD, AND DO GOOD (TO OTHERS) AS ALLAH HAS DONE GOOD TO YOU. AND DO NOT SEEK TO MAKE MISCHIEF IN THE LAND, THAT ALLAH LOVES NOT THOSE WHO DO MISCHIEF.

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أُوتِیتُهُ عَلَى عِلْم عِندِى أَوَلَمْ یَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَهْلَکَ مِنَ قَبْلِهِ مِنْ القُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَأَکْثَرُ جَمْعاً وَلاَ یُسْأَلُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ(( 78 ))

78- HE SAID:- THESE (TREASURES) HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO ME THROUGH A KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS WITH ME.''

      DID HE NOT KNOW THAT ALLAH HAD DESTROYED BEFORE HIM OF GENERATIONS, THOSE WHO WERE MIGHTIER IN STRENGTH AND MORE WEALTHIER (THAN HIM). AND YET THE SINNERS SHALL NOT BE QUESTIONED FOR THEIR SINS (WITHOUT GIVING THEM SOME RESPITE TO RETURN AND AMEND)
