[3:117] The likeness of what they expend in the life of this world is as the likeness of a wind wherein is a blast that smote the tillage of a people who have wronged themselves and destroyed it. God did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves.
They found no inheritance for what they expended for other than God except one affliction after another. They obtained nothing from their calculations except layers of tribulations. That is the recompense of those who are averse and turn away.
