The Holy Quran 30:34 — Surah Ar-Rum

Arabic text

لِيَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُمْ ۚ فَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

...(this they do) to show ingratitude for what (favours) We give them. (Instead of worshipping Allaah as a token of gratitude to Him, they worship others who have done nothing for them.) Enjoy yourselves (in this world by doing as you please) ! Soon you will come to know (the error of your ways when Allaah's punishment strikes you).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The ingratitude of man: that is, just as the nature of every person recognises good deeds, so too the nature of everyone knows turning to Allah, and so this shows itself in times of fear and hardship. Even the most arrogant rebel, when surrounded by calamity, begins to call upon the One Allah; at that time all false supports vanish from his mind.
