Let not their wealth nor their children marvel thee! Allah purposeth only to
punish them thereby in the world, and that their souls shall pass away while
they are disbelievers.

Commentary
Nowadays, dishonest and
fraudulent people are successful everywhere, because they are rich, and they
have all signs of wealth i.e. large bungalows, cars, servants, companions, dear
ones and children in abundance. People consider that if they will not agree to
them then where they will live. Their influence has been spread in every
direction. Rulers, administers of the empire and police etc. are under their
control and they reap advantage by means of bribery commonly. They welcome
earnestly and courteously to their supporters also. In short, it seems that
they dwell in the world as they have been living in the Paradise. Observing
this all, one can think: Their way of life would be good as they are seen
prosperous.
It has been narrated in this
verse that one should not be deceived from their apparent pomp and show. All
that glitters is not gold. Their wealth and prosperity are only for
ostentation. Actually their wealth, their children and those people who are
under their influence, are misfortune for their life. Their friends and lovers
are like kites and crows for them, and whenever they find any chance, they
pinch and eat; even their flesh pieces. They snatch money from them by
threatening in many ways. They seek and find their internal secrets and being acquainted,
they threaten them to disclose their secrets. And whatever they wish, take from
them. And for keeping their reputation firm, they are compelled to please them
in each condition. On the other side, thieves, robbers and swindlers lie in
wait for them every time.
At last, if their personal life
is studied, nothing is visible save heap of confusion, anxiety and uneasiness.
They are upset due to thought of self protection and safety of own wealth, and
feel as they are being eaten by weevil (of such thoughts). They are so much
engaged in the worldly matters that they have no spare time for thinking a
while and performing for the next life also. In such condition of ignorance and
worldly disputes, they have been dying. And their name is entered in the list
of Infidels at the time of death. Such kind of life should not be worth
considering for any individual.
There is a lesson in this verse
for those people, who begin to talk in favor of wealthy vagabonds being
awe-stricken from them.
