(3) [2970]Those who favour the worldly life over the Hereafter, and divert away[2971] from the Path of Allah and wish it be crooked; those are in error, far-off!
[2970] ‘Severe Punishment’, which is so swiftly mentioned here at the beginning of the sura and is so graphically described throughout this sura, is what the then severely aggressed against Believers were expecting to befall their persecutor, the ẓālimūn (unjust). [2971] They not only used to ‘turn away’ (yaṣuddūna) from the Truth themselves but also did their best to divert other people from it (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr). They would always cast the religion of God in bad light, showing it as defective and imperfect (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr): “And when Our Signs are recited to them as clear proofs, they say: “This is naught but a man who desires to turn you from that which your fathers used to worship”. And they say: “This is naught but a fabricated perversion”. And those who Denied say to the Truth when it comes to them: “This is naught but manifest sorcery”” (34: 43).
