اللَّهُ
يَبْسُطُ
الرِّزْقَ
لِمَن
يَشَاءُ
وَيَقْدِرُ
وَفَرِحُوا
بِالْحَيَاةِ
الدُّنْيَا
وَمَا
الْحَيَاةُ
الدُّنْيَا
فِي
الْآخِرَةِ
إِلَّا
مَتَاعٌ

God gives abundant sustenance to whomever He wants and determines everyone's destiny. Some people are very happy with the worldly life. Compared to the life to come it is only a temporary means.
