أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
贪婪及在财富、地位和名望方面想超越他人的过分俗望是人世一切烦恼和忽视追求更高人生价值的根源。人的大不幸是: 要求世俗的东西的欲望没有止境, 以致他没有工夫想到安拉或想到后世的事。他全神贯注于世俗的东西, 直至死亡降临时才发现已把他宝贵的一生浪费在毫无意义的追求中。
اس آیت میں اس طرف اشارہ ہے کہ کفار میں نیکیاں تو نہیں تھیں مگر وہ کسی نہ کسی فریب کے ذریعہ سے مسلمانوں سے بڑھنا چاہتے تھے اور اس کا نتیجہ یہ ہوتا تھا کہ وہ اپنے تصنع والے اعمال کو اصلی اعمال سمجھ لیتے تھے اور دین کی روح سے غافل ہو جاتے تھے۔
Acquisitiveness and man’s inordinate desire to outstrip others in wealth, position and prestige lie at the root of all human troubles and of the neglect of higher values of life. It is man’s great misfortune that his passion for acquiring worldly things knows no limit and leaves him no time to think of God or the Hereafter. He remains entirely engrossed in these things till death comes upon him, and then he finds that he had wasted his precious life in idle pursuits.
24:38; 48:12; 62:10.

Against general practice, the verb الھا has not been followed by the preposition عن in this verse. This enlarges the meaning of the verb, covering, as it does, all the things that are calculated to divert man’s attention from God and not from any particular thing or object.
