1. Each word opens its meaning.

   زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ وَٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱلْقَنَـٰطِيرِ ٱلْمُقَنطَرَةِ مِنَ ٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلْخَيْلِ ٱلْمُسَوَّمَةِ وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ وَٱلْحَرْثِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ مَتَـٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱللَّهُ عِندَهُۥ حُسْنُ ٱلْمَـَٔابِ

   Fair in the eyes of men Is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards Of gold and silver; horses Branded (for blood and excellence); And (wealth of) cattle And well-tilled land. Such are the possessions Of this world's life; But in nearness to God Is the best of the goals (To return to).

   Tafsir (Arabic)
   Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:14
2. Each word opens its meaning.

   ۞ وَمِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مَنْ إِن تَأْمَنْهُ بِقِنطَارٍۢ يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ إِن تَأْمَنْهُ بِدِينَارٍۢ لَّا يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَآئِمًۭا ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ سَبِيلٌۭ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

   Among the People of the Book Are some who, if entrusted With a hoard of gold, Will (readily) pay it back; Others, who, if entrusted With a single silver coin, Will not repay it unless Thou constantly stoodest Demanding, because, They say, "there is no call On us (to keep faith) With these ignorant (Pagans)." But they tell a lie against God, And (well) they know it.

   Tafsir (Arabic)
   Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:75
3. Each word opens its meaning.

   وَإِنْ أَرَدتُّمُ ٱسْتِبْدَالَ زَوْجٍۢ مَّكَانَ زَوْجٍۢ وَءَاتَيْتُمْ إِحْدَىٰهُنَّ قِنطَارًۭا فَلَا تَأْخُذُوا۟ مِنْهُ شَيْـًٔا ۚ أَتَأْخُذُونَهُۥ بُهْتَـٰنًۭا وَإِثْمًۭا مُّبِينًۭا
