They -people- only look at things in life with respect to the

﴿يَعۡلَمُونَ ظَٰهِرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَهُمۡ عَنِ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ غَٰفِلُونَ ﴾
[الرُّوم: 7]

They -people- only look at things in life with respect to the aspect presenting itself to a slight or casual mental view and they are deceived by the smiling surface of the deep. They fail to take into account what the deep end affecting them profoundly is like. They are allured by the mundane, and oblivious of the Hereafter

﴿يعلمون ظاهرا من الحياة الدنيا وهم عن الآخرة هم غافلون﴾ [الرُّوم: 7]
