Verse 109

أَفَمَنْ Then is (one) who أَسَّسَ founded بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ his building عَلَىٰ on تَقْوَىٰ righteousness مِنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَرِضْوَٰنٍ and (His) pleasure خَيْرٌ better أَم or مَّنْ (one) who أَسَّسَ founded بُنْيَـٰنَهُۥ his building عَلَىٰ on شَفَا edge جُرُفٍ (of) a cliff هَارٍۢ (about to) collapse فَٱنْهَارَ so it collapsed بِهِۦ with him فِى in نَارِ (the) Fire جَهَنَّمَ ۗ (of) Hell وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the wrongdoing people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoing people ١٠٩

Then is one who laid the foundation of his building on righteousness [with fear] from Allāh and [seeking] His approval better or one who laid the foundation of his building on the edge of a bank about to collapse, so it collapsed with him into the fire of Hell? And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
