ٱلَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
‘Those whose labour is all lost in search after things pertaining to the life of this world, and they think that they are doing good works.’

[a]Those whose labour is all lost in search after things pertaining to the life of this world, and they think that they are doing good works.’[2140]
11:22.

The verse means to say that these people look upon the acquisition of material comforts and worldly benefits and upon making new inventions and discoveries to add to those comforts as the sole aim and object of their life. They have no place for God in their hearts.
