The Cave
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[18:46]
Wealth and children are an adornment of this world’s life: but good deeds, the fruit whereof endures forever, are of far greater merit in thy Sustainer’s sight, and a far better source of hope.

* v.46 : Lit., “are better in thy Sustainer’s sight as regards merit, and better as regards hope.” The expression al-bāqiyāt as-sālihāt (“good deeds, the fruit whereof endures forever”) occurs in the Qur’ān twice – in the above verse as well as in 19:76.
