Al-Alaq 96:6–8
To your Lord is the return
كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ ٦ أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ ٧ إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ ٨
The meaning, simply
Truly, man oversteps his limits and grows proud when he sees himself rich and in need of no one. But everyone will return to Allah, and He will reward each person for what he did.
