وَذَرِ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَهُمْ لَعِبًا وَلَهْوًا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَذَكِّرْ بِهِ أَن تُبْسَلَ نَفْسٌ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلَا شَفِيعٌ وَإِن تَعْدِلْ كُلَّ عَدْلٍ لَّا يُؤْخَذْ مِنْهَا ۗ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ أُبْسِلُوا بِمَا كَسَبُوا ۖ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ ۝٧٠

📖 Translation (English Meaning)

📖 English Meaning

And leave those who take their religion as amusement and diversion and whom the worldly life has deluded. But remind with the Qur'an, lest a soul be given up to destruction for what it earned; it will have other than Allah no protector and no intercessor. And if it should offer every compensation, it would not be taken from it. Those are the ones who are given to destruction for what they have earned. For them will be a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment because they used to disbelieve.

Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

La'iban wa Lahwan (لَعِبًا وَلَهْوًا): Play and amusement — treating religion as a source of mockery and entertainment.
Gharrahum (غَرَّتْهُم): Deceived them; the fleeting pleasures of worldly life deluded them into arrogance and neglect.
Tubsala (تُبْسَلَ): To be surrendered or handed over to destruction and ruin; to be held in pledge for one's deeds.
'Adl (عَدْل): Here it means ransom or compensation offered to save oneself from punishment.
Hamim (حَمِيم): Extremely hot, boiling water that scalds.

Explanation of the Verse:

O Prophet, leave those who have turned their religion into a mere game and pastime — mocking the verses of Allah and treating His signs with ridicule. The glittering attractions of this worldly life have deceived them, making them forget the Hereafter and their accountability before their Lord. Do not waste your effort on them; instead, focus on delivering the message.

And remind people through the Qur'an — warn them sincerely — so that no soul shall be handed over to destruction because of what it has earned. On that Day, a soul will find no protector besides Allah to rescue it from His punishment, nor any intercessor whose plea could save it. Even if it were to offer every possible ransom — the most precious treasure on earth — it would not be accepted from it. Such are those who have been surrendered to ruin because of their own deeds. For them, in the Fire, there is a drink of boiling, scalding water and a painful torment — all because they persisted in disbelief and rejected the truth.

A Call to Reflection and Action:

This verse is a profound reminder of the seriousness of our relationship with Allah. How often do we treat our faith lightly — postponing prayers, mocking sincere believers, or chasing the temporary glitter of this world while forgetting the eternal reality? The Qur'an is not a book to be recited for blessings alone; it is a living guide, a warning, and a mercy. Let this verse awaken your heart: no wealth, no status, no worldly achievement can ransom a single soul on the Day of Judgment. Only sincere faith and righteous deeds — performed in this life — will be our salvation. So turn to Allah now, before that Day arrives when no ransom will be accepted and no intercessor will avail. The door of repentance is open today; do not let the deception of this world close it upon you.

📜 Verse 68-72 — Al-An'am

68وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ ۚ وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

And when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.

69وَمَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَيْءٍ وَلَٰكِن ذِكْرَىٰ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ

And those who fear Allah are not held accountable for the disbelievers at all, but [only for] a reminder - that perhaps they will fear Him.

70وَذَرِ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَهُمْ لَعِبًا وَلَهْوًا وَغَرَّتْهُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا ۚ وَذَكِّرْ بِهِ أَن تُبْسَلَ نَفْسٌ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلَا شَفِيعٌ وَإِن تَعْدِلْ كُلَّ عَدْلٍ لَّا يُؤْخَذْ مِنْهَا ۗ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ أُبْسِلُوا بِمَا كَسَبُوا ۖ لَهُمْ شَرَابٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ وَعَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ

71قُلْ أَنَدْعُو مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُنَا وَلَا يَضُرُّنَا وَنُرَدُّ عَلَىٰ أَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ كَالَّذِي اسْتَهْوَتْهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فِي الْأَرْضِ حَيْرَانَ لَهُ أَصْحَابٌ يَدْعُونَهُ إِلَى الْهُدَى ائْتِنَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَىٰ ۖ وَأُمِرْنَا لِنُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Say, "Shall we invoke instead of Allah that which neither benefits us nor harms us and be turned back on our heels after Allah has guided us? [We would then be] like one whom the devils enticed [to wander] upon the earth confused, [while] he has companions inviting him to guidance, [calling], 'Come to us.' " Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance; and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds.

72وَأَنْ أَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَاتَّقُوهُ ۚ وَهُوَ الَّذِي إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

And to establish prayer and fear Him." And it is He to whom you will be gathered.
