| Mohammad Habib Shakir O you who believe!

But the provision of this world's life compared with the hereafter is but little |

| Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali O you who have believed, how is it with you, (that) when it is said to you, "March out in the way of Allah, " you sink down heavily to the earth?

Yet in no way is the enjoyment of the present life, in the Hereafter anything except a little thing |
