not cautious of Him suffer both physical and spiritual distress in
this world. In reality their lives will be reduced to one long series of
physical and emotional disasters.

to be deceived by the fact that they may have been blessed with gifts
such as wealth or good looks. Hence they persist in their excesses,
fooling themselves that things could not be better. However, they

imagine that, in the wealth and children We extend to them,
We are hastening to them with good things? No indeed, but
they have no awareness! (Surat al-Muminun: 54-56)

their punishments on Earth. They will be in a state of constant loss
