HR Background

زُیِّنَ لِلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الْحَیٰوةُ الدُّنْیَا وَ یَسْخَرُوْنَ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْاۘ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْا فَوْقَهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یَرْزُقُ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ(212)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

The life of this world was made alluring for those who disbelieve,[1] and they laugh at those who believe. And those who fear ˹Allah˺ will be above the disbelievers on the Day of Judgement.[2] And Allah provides immeasurable sustenance for whomsoever He wills.

Commentary

[1]

The world being made alluring for the disbelievers means that they only like and value this worldly life, yearning for it. Remember, a worldly life is that which is spent following egotistical desires, whereas, a life spent accumulating provisions of the Hereafter is, with the Grace of the Almighty, a religious life.

[2]

Mocking a poor Muslim or considering a believer to be disgraced is a practice of the disbelievers. Therefore, an evildoer or disbeliever is not respectable even if he is wealthy, whereas a believer is honourable even if he is poor, regardless of his lineage, as long as he is pious.
