Worldly Life

They know only the surface of worldly life, but they are heedless of the Hereafter.

30:7They know only some appearance of the life of the world, and are heedless of the Hereafter.

Have they not reflected within themselves? Allah did not create the heavens and the earth, and all between them, except with truth and for a set time. Yet many people deny the meeting with their Lord.

30:8Have they not pondered upon themselves? Allah created not the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, save with truth and for a destined end. But truly many of mankind are disbelievers in the meeting with their Lord.

Allah did not wrong them; they wronged themselves.

30:9Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger than these in power, and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have built. Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves.
