Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Warning Against Being Deceived by This Life; the Rewards of the Righteous BelieversAllah said, do not look at the disbelievers, who are enjoying various delights and joys. Soon, they will loose all this and be tied to their evil works, for verily, we are only giving them time, which deceives them, when all they have is, مَتَـعٌ قَلِيلٌ ثُمَّ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ (A brief enjoyment; then their ultimate abode is Hell; and worst indeed is that place for rest.
