Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(53:29) So leave alone those who turn away from the remembrance of Us *24 and who seek nothing but the life of the world *25 '
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*24) Dhikr here may imply the Qur'an as well as mere admonition; it may also mean that he does not like that even God be mentioned before him.
*25) That is, "You should not waste your time in making him understand the truth, for such a person will never be inclined to accept any invitation which is based on God-worship, which calls to objects and values higher than the material benefits of the world, and according to which the real aim of life may be the eternal success and well-being of the Hereafter. Instead of expending your time and energy on such a materialistic and ungodly person, you should devote attention to the people who arc inclined to heed the remembrance of Allah and arc not involved in the worship of the world.
