DESIRES

3:14.Worldly desires, wives, children, treasures of gold and silver, horses of noble breed, cattle, and farms are all made to seem attractive to men. All these are the pleasures of this worldly life but in the life to come Allah has the best place for people to dwell. 

4:119 Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah." And whoever takes Shaitan as a Wali (protector or helper) instead of Allah, has surely suffered a manifest loss.

4:134 Whoever desires the reward of this world, then ˹let them know that˺ with Allah are the rewards of this world and the Hereafter. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

4:135 O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or close relatives, be they rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). Let not your desires cause you to commit injustice. If you deviate from the truth in your testimony, or decline to give your testimony at all, know that Allah is Well Aware of what you do.

5:77 Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Exceed not the limits in your religion (by believing in something) other than the truth, and do not follow the vain desires of people who went astray in times gone by, and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the Right Path." 

6:119 Why should you not eat of what is slaughtered in Allah’s Name when He has already explained to you what He has forbidden to you—except when compelled by necessity?Most people, out of ignorance, are led astray by their desires. Your Lord knows best those who transgress.

7:176 Had We wanted, We could have raised him to an exalted position but he clung to his earthly life and followed his own (evil) desires. Such a person's bad habits are like those of a lazy dog (in a warm climate) who always has its tongue hanging out whether you chase it away or leave it alone. Such are the people who have called Our revelations mere lies. (Muhammad), tell them such stories so that perhaps they will think.

11:15 Whoever desires ˹only˺ this worldly life and its luxuries, We will pay them in full for their deeds in this life—nothing will be left out.

20:16 Let not the unbelievers who follow their vain desires make you forget the Day of Judgment, lest you will perish.

25:43 How can you (Muhammad) be the guardian of those who have chosen their own desires as their Lord?

28:50 So if they fail to respond to you, then know that they only follow their desires. And who could be more astray than those who follow their desires with no guidance from Allah? Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

45:23 Have you seen those who have taken their own desires as their god? ˹And so˺ Allah left them to stray knowingly, sealed their hearing and hearts, and placed a cover on their sight. Who then can guide them after Allah? Will you ˹all˺ not then be mindful?

47:14 Can the one who is on a clear proof from their Lord be considered equal to the one whose evil deeds are made to seem attractive to him and who follows his own desires?

53:23 They are but names which you have named, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. They follow nothing but ˹inherited˺ assumptions and whatever ˹their˺ souls desire,  although ˹true˺ Guidance has already come to them from their Lord.
