Al-Mukhtasar

They return to their idolatry so that they can continue showing ingratitude for My favours upon them and so that they can carry on enjoying the beauty of the worldly life. They will soon know the evil punishment that awaits them when they die.

showing their ingratitude to what We have given them and enjoy themselves, but they will soon come to know.

So that they become ingrate for that which We have given them, and that they take their enjoyment (as a warning and a threat), but they will come to know.

That they may disbelieve in that which We have given them, and that they may take their ease. But they will come to know.

Disdaining ungratefully Our gifts, and giving themselves up to (worldly) enjoyment! But soon will they know.

Thus they become ungrateful for what We have given them, so that they may enjoy; but they shall soon know.

Let them disbelieve in whatever We brought them, and let them take their enjoyment; then they will eventually know!
