Notes

[24] Islam is a religion of moderation and good consideration; neither wastefully nor stingily, but moderate.
[25] Disbelievers are the most ungrateful ones as they rebel against Allah's commands instead of showing obedience to Him, for they follow the way of the devil towards Allah.

Verily, the spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayâtîn (devils), and the Shaitân (Devil-Satan) is ever ungrateful to his Lord.

Lo! the squanderers were ever brothers of the devils, and the devil was ever an ingrate to his Lord.

Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful.

Surely the squanderers are the fellows of the Shaitans and the Shaitan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.

Surely the squanderers have been brethren of Ash-Shayâtin (The all-vicious ones, i.e., the devils), and Ash-Shaytan has ever been ever-disbelieving to his Lord.
