The Holy Quran 14:3 — Surah Ibrahim

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا عَلَى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ فِى ضَلَـٰلٍۭ بَعِيدٍ

Translation

(The Kuffaar are) Those who prefer (solely) the life of this world to the Aakhirah, who (always) forbid (others) from Allaah's path (Islaam) and who seek (ways to make it seem as if there is) crookedness in it. These people are far astray (having no hope of return to the straight path).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The disbelievers' love of this world and their misguidance: here the state of the disbelievers is described: this world is everything to them; they prefer it and give it precedence over the Hereafter.
