    228. From this we learn that a pious person who, through consistent efforts, tries to do good deeds but which turn out to be futile is more unfortunate than the immoral and sinful person, because such a person is living under the false belief that he is pious. May Allah Almighty protect us!

    The tafsir of Surah Kahf verse 104 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Kahf ayat 103 which provides the complete commentary from verse 103 through 106.

    (18:104) It will be those whose effort went astray[76] in the life of the world and who believe nevertheless that they are doing good.

    Ala-Maududi

    (18:104) It will be those whose effort went astray[76] in the life of the world and who believe nevertheless that they are doing good.

    76. This verse has two meanings. The one is the same that we have adopted in the translation. The other meaning is this: Those who confined all their endeavors to the worldly life. That is, whatever they did, they did for this world without paying any regard to God and the Hereafter. As they considered the worldly life to be the real life, they made the success and prosperity in this world their sole aim and object. Even if they professed the existence of Allah, they never paid any heed to the two implications of this profession: to lead their lives in a way to please Allah and to come out successful on the Day they shall have to render an account of what they did in this world. This was because they considered themselves to be mere rational animals who were absolutely independent and free from every kind of responsibility and had nothing else to do but to enjoy the good things of the world like animals in a meadow.

    (104) [They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."
