Surah Al-A'raf — 7:32

قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ وَٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزْقِ ۚ قُلْ هِىَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Qul man harrama zeenatal laahil lateee akhraja li'ibaadihee wattaiyibaati minar rizq; qul hiya lillazeena aamanoo fil hayaatid dunyaa khaalisatany Yawmal Qiyaamah; kazaalika nufassihul Aayaati liqawminy ya'lamoon

"Allah'ın kulları için yarattığı ziynet ve temiz rızıkları haram kılan kimdir?" "Bunlar, dünya hayatında inananlarındır, kıyamet gününde de yalnız onlar içindir" de. Bilen kimseler için ayetlerimizi böylece uzun uzun açıklıyoruz.

Say: who has forbidden the adornment God has brought forth for his servants, and the good things he provides? Say: these are for those who believe in the life of this world, and theirs alone on the day of resurrection. This is how we lay out the signs in detail for people who know.

Reflection

Khāliṣatan, purely or exclusively, is the word the verse turns on. In this life the good things of provision are held in common, with believers and deniers eating from the same harvest; at the resurrection they pass to the believers alone. The verse thereby treats enjoyment of what God brought forth as the believers' own portion, which leaves the deniers sharing in it only for the span of this world.
