Al-Anbiyā’

آیه: 1

ٱقۡتَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ حِسَابُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ فِي غَفۡلَةٖ مُّعۡرِضُونَ

1. The (Day of) reckoning (Judgment) draws near to the people, while they turn away in heedlessness¹.

1. A common disease that we find among many people today is the disease of heedlessness or negligence, in the Islamic context it is the sin of forgetting God and the purpose behind one’s existence and one’s duty to Allah (God), and simultaneously forgetting one’s eventual abode. This phenomenon is becoming more and more widespread among many people as they move further and further away from the true religion of God, Islam, and indulge themselves deeper into the world and what it has to offer of ephemeral pleasures. They get taken away by the fast-paced society they live in today and become forever lost in it as the world pulls them deeper into their state of heedlessness. Allah has described such people in the Qur’an as having insight into the affairs of the wordly life while being completely heedless and negligent of the affairs of the Hereafter life.
