Then, whatever earns him pleasure and enjoyment, material progress and prosperity, power and authority, will be the good for him, no matter it be any philosophy of life, any way of life and any system of morality. He will have no concern for truth and reality. His real ambition will be to win successes and earn adornments only of this worldly life, and their pursuit will lead him astray into every valley. Then, whatever he does with this object in view will be a thing of beauty for him, and he will regard all those others as foolish, who are not absorbed like him in seeking the world, and doing anything and everything without any moral qualm and inhibition. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab As to those who deny the Hereafter and refuse to admit the truth of Resurrection, they have lost the intuitive recognition and perception of the truth. Acting upon their struggle in defiance of the truth, We have allured them to a brighter present and a happier destiny so that their minds be thrown into confusion and lose sight of the truth until they commit themselves to loss in the maze of error. ### Bijan Moeinian As far as those who do not believe in hereafter, I (God) have doomed them to be pleased with their materialistic beliefs and wonder around like blind people. ### Al-Hilali & Khan Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so that they wander about blindly. ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali As to those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds pleasing in their eyes; and so they wander about in distraction. ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have certainly made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, so they wander blindly. ### Taqi Usmani As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds look beautiful to them.
