  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    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.

    Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:180
  2. Each word opens its meaning.

    And what cause have ye Why ye should not spend In the cause of God?— For to God belongs The heritage of the heavens And the earth. Not equal among you Are those who spent (freely) And fought, before the Victory, (With those who did so later). Those are higher in rank Than those who spent (freely) And fought afterwards. But to all has God promised A goodly (reward). And God Is well acquainted With all that ye do.

    Surah Al-Hadid, verse 57:10
