Verses 1–7 of 7
And let not those Who covetously withhold Of the gifts which God Hath given them of His Grace, Think that it is good for them: Nay, it will be the worse For them: soon shall the things Which they covetously withheld Be tied to their necks Like a twisted collar, On the Day of Judgment. To God belongs the heritage Of the heavens and the earth; And God is well-acquainted With all that ye do.

If ye turn back (From the Path), He will Substitute in your stead Another people; then they Would not be like you!
