Sura 27
Aya 4
4
إِنَّ الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِالآخِرَةِ زَيَّنّا لَهُم أَعمالَهُم فَهُم يَعمَهونَ

Muhammad Asad

As for those who will not believe in the life to come - behold, goodly have We made their own doings appear unto them, and so they stumble blindly to and fro.1
  • The implication is that people who do not believe in life after death concentrate all their endeavours, as a rule, on material gains alone, and cannot think of anything worthwhile beyond "their own doings". See also note 7 on 2:7, which explains why the "causing" of this spiritual blindness and confusion in itself but a consequence of man's own behaviour is attributed to God.
