📖 Commentary of Surah Maryam – Verse 74

"And how many generations We have destroyed before them, that they were better in goods and outward show than them [131]."

✅ [131] Wealth Does Not Guarantee Salvation

Nations like Pharaoh, Hamaan, and Qarun had far more wealth and splendour, yet they were destroyed. This proves that worldly luxury is no sign of success in the Hereafter.
