The Holy Quran 46:20 — Surah Al-Ahqaf

Arabic text

وَيَوْمَ يُعْرَضُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ أَذْهَبْتُمْ طَيِّبَـٰتِكُمْ فِى حَيَاتِكُمُ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِهَا فَٱلْيَوْمَ تُجْزَوْنَ عَذَابَ ٱلْهُونِ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَبِمَا كُنتُمْ تَفْسُقُونَ

Translation

(Do not forget) The day when those who commit kufr will be presented before the Fire. (They will be told,) "You have used up your good things (your health, wealth and other resources) in your worldly life and enjoyed yourself with it (instead of using them to prepare for the Aakhirah). Today you will be recompensed (paid back) with a humiliating punishment because you behaved proudly on earth without cause and because you were disobedient (to Allaah and His Rusul)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The good deeds of the disbelievers: in no good deed of a disbeliever is there the spirit of faith; there is merely the outward form and frame of goodness. The reward of such perishable good deeds is also perishable, and is received in this very life in the form of wealth, children, rule, health, honour, fame and so on.
