And made things easy for them.

And made several preparations for him.

and made all things smooth for him

And for whom I smoothed everything.

And made life smooth and comfortable for him!

And smoothed things for him.

and for whom I have smoothed the way (to power and riches),

And made (life) smooth for him.

For me, it's very simple. It's not about wealth and fame and power.

Possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will, and You endue with honour whom You will, and You humiliate whom You will.

You grant sovereignty to whom You will, and You strip sovereignty from whom you will. You honor whom you will, and You humiliate whom you will.

You give dominion to whom You will, and take away dominion from whom You will, and You exalt whom You will, and abase whom You will.

You give sovereignty to whomever You wish, and strip of sovereignty whomever You wish You make mighty whomever You wish, and You degrade whomever You wish all choice is in Your hand.

Say O Lord of all dominions, You give whom it pleases You the kingdom, and You take away the power from whosoever You will You exalt whom You please and debase whom You will. All goodness is Yours (entirely).

Say thou O Allah! sovereign of the dominion Thou givest dominion unto whomsoever Thou wilt, and Thou takest away dominion from whomsoever Thou wilt Thou honourest whomsoever Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whomsoever Thou wilt and in Thine hand is good.

for riches are not forever, nor does even the crown endure to all generations.

For riches are not for ever and doth the crown endure to every generation?

So they hire us to visualize their power and money by making monumental architecture.

You bestowed upon Pharaoh and his nobles splendour and riches in the world. Our Lord!

First accrue wealth, power, and prestige, then lose it.

First accrue wealth, power, and prestige, then lose it.

Owner Of The Kingdom You bestow the kingdom on whomever You will, and You take back the kingdom from whomever You will and You give honour to whomever You will, and You humiliate whomever You will only in Your Hand (control) lies all goodness indeed, You are Able to do all things.

Say 'O God, Master of the Kingdom, Thou givest the Kingdom to whom Thou wilt, and seizest the Kingdom from whom Thou wilt, Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt in Thy hand is the good Thou art powerful over everything.

We are all free to join the scramble for power and riches, and to sell our beliefs to buy success.

When wealth turns into unchecked power, something must be done to restrict it.

Despite all that power, all that wealth, he was alone when he finally died his ultimate terror realized.

Say O Allah! Owner of Sovereignty! Thou givest sovereignty unto whom Thou wilt, and Thou withdrawest sovereignty from whom Thou wilt. Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt. In Thy hand is the good. Lo! Thou art Able to do all things.

And an awful lot of folks' wealth and power rides on the business of moving large amounts of hydro carbon from one place to another.

And yet nothing of what they did profited them.

But naught availed them of that which they had been earning.

But what they had achieved availed them nothing.

And you know, I have a definition of success. For me, it's very simple. It's not about wealth and fame and power.

Let's say money. Wealth.

Wealth? Family?

Wealth and the Culture of Nations
