Tafsir

Allah said addressing His slaves that the love of the world and greed for its bounties have turned your attention from doing righteous deeds for the Hereafter. You remain oblivious of the Hereafter till your death comes and you reach your graves. The Prophet said explaining these verses "Your mutual rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you from obedience to Allah and you remain oblivious of the Hereafter until death approaches you" (Ibn Abi Hatim). Has an Al-Basri said that the greed for more children and more wealth has turned people away from remembering death.
