Deeds Made Attractive
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمۡ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ فَهُمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ ٤
Lo! as for those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their works fairseeming unto them so that they are all astray.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Those who do not believe in the Hereafter — We have made their deeds pleasing to them, so they wander blindly.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, their hearts have gone blind; they do not see, they are numb, so they do not accept guidance.
Reflect
Don’t see all you do as good; take account of yourself.
