Translation of the meanings Ayah: (85) Surah: At-Tawbah
وَلَا تُعۡجِبۡكَ أَمۡوَٰلُهُمۡ وَأَوۡلَٰدُهُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَتَزۡهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ
(85) [2191]Let not ˹Muhammad˺ their wealth and their sons amuse you; Allah wants nothing but to punish them with these in the worldly life and their souls to expire while they are ˹still˺ Deniers.
[2191] The wording of this aya is almost identical to Aya 55 above, reiterating its message and further driving it home (cf. al-Rāzī, Ibn ʿAṭiyyah, Abū Ḥayyān); all the grandeur with which they are surrounded amounts to nothing but a cause of pain and misery and a deceptive illusion that haunts them until they die without repentance (cf. al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr).
