Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(30:7) People simply know the outward aspect of the worldly life but are utterly heedless *4 of the Hereafter.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*4) That is, "Although there are plenty of Signs and evidences which point to the Hereafter, and there is no reason why one should be heedless of it, yet the people are being heedless of it due to their own short-sightedness. They only see the apparent and the outward aspect of the worldly life and are unaware of what is hidden behind it; otherwise there has been no slackness on the part of God to warn them of it. "
