filled them with false hopes. (Surah Muhammad: 25)

He makes promises to them and fills them with false hopes.
But what satan promises them is nothing but delusion. (Surat
an-Nisa': 120)

Amassing fortune in this world as if life would last forever, un-
believers perceive life as a competition. All throughout their lives,
they take pride in possessions and children. This pride gives them a
sense of artificial superiority, which causes them to drift completely
away from the thought of the hereafter. However, the following
verses disclose where they are destined for because of this great
delusion:
Do they imagine that, in the wealth and children We give to
them, We are hastening to them with good things? No indeed,
but they have no awareness! (Surat al-Muminun: 55-56)

Do not let their wealth and children impress you. Through
them Allah merely wants to punish them during their life in
the world and for them to expire while they are unbelievers.

(Surat at-Tawba: 55)
Allah gives man many warnings and messages to make him
ponder upon death and the hereafter. In one verse, Allah draws at-
tention to the trials given as a warning to man:
Do they not see that they are tried once or twice in every year?
But still they do not turn back. They do not pay heed. (Surat
at-Tawba: 126)

Indeed, the majority of people encounter various trials, so that
they may frequently ask for forgiveness and take heed. These may
take place very rarely, once or twice in a year, as stated in the verse.
