that He may give Glad Tidings to the Believers who work righteous deeds, that they shall have a goodly Reward,
18:3
Wherein they shall remain for ever:
18:4

18:7
That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to
which of them are best in conduct.
18:8
Verily what is on earth we shall make but as dust and dry soil (without growth or herbage).
18:9
Or dost thou reflect that the Companions of the Cave and of the Inscription were wonders among Our Sign.
