They want to join the ranks of the disbelievers in this world, so they made the world their main concern, if they are given, they are pleased, and if they are not given, then they become angry.

These, no matter how much they reach in worldly luxury, they are in hell; they have never tasted the pleasure of the world, but rather, it is tasted by the one who believes in Allah and does righteous deeds.
