Surah Al Hijr Tafseer

ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُواْ وَيَتَمَتَّعُواْ

Leave them to eat and enjoy,

this is a stern and definitive threat for them, like His saying,

قُلْ تَمَتَّعُواْ فَإِنَّ مَصِيرَكُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ

Say:"Enjoy your brief life! But certainly, your destination is the Fire!" (14:30)

كُلُواْ وَتَمَتَّعُواْ قَلِيلً إِنَّكُمْ مُّجْرِمُونَ

(O disbelievers!) Eat and enjoy yourselves (in this worldly life) for a little while. Verily, you are the guilty. (77:46)

Allah says:

وَيُلْهِهِمُ الَامَلُ

let them be preoccupied with false hope.

i.e., distracted from repentance and turning to Allah, for,

فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ

They will soon come to know!

that is, their punishment
