29:6
وَمَن
جَاهَدَ
فَإِنَّمَا
يُجَاهِدُ
لِنَفْسِهِ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
لَغَنِيٌّ
عَنِ
الْعَالَمِينَ
wa-man jāhada fa-ʾinnamā yujāhidu li-nafsihī ʾinna llāha la-ghaniyyun ʿani l-ʿālamīna
Whoever strives, strives only for his own sake. Indeed Allah has no need of the creatures.
— Ali Quli Qarai
And if any strive (with might and main), they do so for their own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from all creation.
