إِنَّا
جَعَلْنَا
مَا
عَلَى
الْأَرْضِ
زِينَةً
لَّهَا
لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ
أَيُّهُمْ
أَحْسَنُ

ʾinnā jaʿalnā mā ʿalā l-ʾarḍi zīnatan lahā li-nabluwahum ʾayyuhum ʾaḥsanu ʿamalan
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.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Indeed We have made whatever is on the earth an adornment for it that We may test them [to see] which of them is best in conduct.
