Surah Fatir, ayah 10

مَن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡعِزَّةَ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡعِزَّةُ جَمِيعًاۚ إِلَيۡهِ يَصۡعَدُ ٱلۡكَلِمُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ وَٱلۡعَمَلُ ٱلصَّٰلِحُ يَرۡفَعُهُۥۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَمۡكُرُونَ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞۖ وَمَكۡرُ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُوَ يَبُورُ ١٠

Man kāna yurīdul-'izzata falillāhil-'izzatu jamī'an ilayhi yas'adul-kalimut-tayyibu wal-'amalus-sālihu yarfa'uhū walladhīna yamkurūnas-sayyi'āti lahum 'adhābun shadīdun wamakru ulā'ika huwa yabūr

Whoever desires honor [through power] - then to Allāh belongs all honor.¹²⁴⁵ To Him ascends good speech, and righteous work raises it.¹²⁴⁶ But they who plot evil deeds will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those - it will perish.
