were it not for the fear that all people would become one in disbelief we would have made for the disbelievers in the beneficent god ceilings out of silver and ladders by which they would climb up doors for their houses couches on which to recline and other ornament of gold. all these are only the means of enjoyment in this world but the pious will receive their reward from your lord in the life hereafter.
ولولا أن يكون الناس أمة واحدة لجعلنا لمن يكفر بالرحمن لبيوتهم سقفا من فضة ومعارج عليها يظهرون ولبيوتهم أبوابا وسررا عليها يتكئون وزخرفا وإن كل ذلك لما متاع الحياة الدنيا والآخرة عند ربك للمتقين
