Transliteration:( Innahoo kaana feee ahlihee masrooraa )
🔹 The disbeliever remained content and joyful among his family.
🔹 His happiness was based on arrogance, heedlessness, and rejection of the truth.
🔹 He rejoiced in his worldly life while opposing Islam, which ultimately led to his downfall.
🔹 This kind of joy—rooted in arrogance and denial—is condemned.
✅ Expressing joy at receiving Allah’s mercy is an act of worship.
🔴 However, arrogance and pride over rejecting the truth lead to destruction.
✅ True happiness comes from faith and righteousness, not from heedless indulgence in worldly pleasures.
The tafsir of Surah Inshiqaq verse 13 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Inshiqaq ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 15.
(84:13) He used to live joyfully among his people,[9]
9. That is, his way of life was different from that of God’s righteous men, about whom in (Surah At-Toor, Ayat 26), it has been said that they lived among their kinsfolk in fear and dread of God, i.e. they fear lest they should ruin their own Hereafter on account of their absorption in the love of children and endeavors for the sake of their well-being and prosperity in the world. On the contrary, this man lived a life free from every care and worry and also helped his children and kinsfolk to enjoy life fully, no matter what wicked and immoral methods he had to use to procure the means of enjoyment, how he had to usurp the rights of others and transgress the bounds set by Allah for the sake of the worldly pleasures.
