13إِنَّهُ كانَ في أَهلِهِ مَسرورًاAli UnalFor, indeed, he used to be in joyous conceit among his household (in his earthly life).1The contrast between the state of a believer and an unbeliever is highly significant. An unbeliever condemned to eternal punishment is one who is conceited and joyful among his household in the world. He rejoices in his worldly possessions, of which he is proud, and is indifferent to his Creator and His commands. When he sees the punishment in the Hereafter, he will pray for eternal destruction. However, a believer who is to be rewarded with eternal bliss in the other world is one who, as is stated in 52: 26, is very careful and alert among his family for his own and their guidance and eternal life. So he will rejoice in the Hereafter in the reward he has been given.
