وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِه ِِ شَيْئا ً وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانا ً وَبِذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْيَتَامَى وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْجَارِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَالْجَارِ الْجُنُبِ وَالصَّاحِبِ بِالْجَنْبِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ مَنْ كَانَ مُخْتَالا ً فَخُورا ً
Wa A`budū Allāha Wa Lā Tushrikū Bihi Shay'āan Wa Bil-Wālidayni 'Iĥsānāan Wa Bidhī Al-Qurbá Wa Al-Yatāmá Wa Al-Masākīni Wa Al-Jāri Dhī Al-Qurbá Wa Al-Jāri Al-Junubi Wa Aş-Şāĥibi Bil-Janbi Wa Abni As-Sabīli Wa Mā Malakat 'Aymānukum 'Inna Allāha Lā Yuĥibbu Man Kāna Mukhtālāan Fakhūrāan
And serve God and do not set up anything with Him, and do good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and the neighbor who is a relative, and the neighbor nearby, and the friend nearby, and the wayfarer, and those maintained by your oaths. God does not love the arrogant, the boastful.
11:10
وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَاه ُُ نَعْمَاءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّاءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّئَاتُ عَنِّي إِنَّه ُُ لَفَرِح ٌ فَخُور ٌ
Wa La'in 'Adhaqnāhu Na`mā'a Ba`da Đarrā'a Massat/hu Layaqūlanna Dhahaba As-Sayyi'ātu `Annī 'Innahu Lafariĥun Fakhūrun
And if We give him the taste of a blessing after hardship has afflicted him, he says: "Evil has gone from me!" He becomes happy, boastful.
31:18
وَلاَ تُصَعِّرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلاَ تَمْشِ فِي الأَرْضِ مَرَحا ً إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَال ٍ فَخُور ٍ
Wa Lā Tuşa``ir Khaddaka Lilnnāsi Wa Lā Tamshi Fī Al-'ArĐi Maraĥāan 'Inna Allāha Lā Yuĥibbu Kulla Mukhtālin Fakhūrin
And do not turn your cheek arrogantly from people, nor shall you roam the earth insolently. For Goddoes not love the arrogant show off.
57:23
لِكَيْلاَ تَأْسَوْا عَلَى مَا فَاتَكُمْ وَلاَ تَفْرَحُوا بِمَا آتَاكُمْ وَاللَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُخْتَال ٍ فَخُور ٍ
Likaylā Ta'saw `Alá Mā Fātakum Wa Lā Tafraĥū Bimā 'Ātākum Wa Allāhu Lā Yuĥibbu Kulla Mukhtālin Fakhūrin
In order that you do not despair over anything that has passed you by, nor be happy of anything He has bestowed upon you. God does not love those who are boastful, proud.

اعْلَمُوا أَنَّمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا لَعِب ٌ وَلَهْو ٌ وَزِينَة ٌ وَتَفَاخُر ٌ بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَكَاثُر ٌ فِي الأَمْوالِ وَالأَوْلاَدِ كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُه ُُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاه ُُ مُصْفَرّا ً ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَاما ً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ عَذَاب ٌ شَدِيد ٌ وَمَغْفِرَة ٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَان ٌ وَمَا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ

Know that the worldly life is no more than play and distraction and adornments, and boasting among you, and to increase in wealth and children. It is like plants that are supplied by an abundant rain, which appear pleasing to the rejecters. But then they dry-up and turn yellow, and become useless hay. And in the Hereafter there is severe retribution, and forgiveness fromGod and acceptance. This worldly life is no more than a deceiving enjoyment.
