Surely, I have made the creation on the face of this earth an adornment for it, so I can test them to see which of them does the best actions which please Allah and which of them is worst in actions, so that I may reward everyone with what they deserve.
We have made all that is on earth as an adornment for it, so that We may test them as to which of them is best in deeds.
Verily! We have made that which is on earth as an adornment for it, in order that We may test them (mankind) as to which of them are best in deeds. [i.e. those who do good deeds in the most perfect manner, that means to do them (deeds) totally for Allâh’s sake and in accordance to the legal ways of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم].
Lo! We have placed all that is on the earth as an ornament thereof that We may try them: which of them is best in conduct.
That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them - as to which of them are best in conduct.
Surely We have made whatever is on the earth an embellishment for it, so that We may try them (as to) which of them is best in works.
Surely We have made whatever is on the earth for an adornment for it that We may try whichever of them is fairest in deeds.
