21:13
Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account.
Some commentators interpret the phrase “return to the luxury” as a command meaning “go back to your worldly life (dunyā),” referring to the lifestyle of comfort and indulgence that the wrongdoers once enjoyed (Qurṭubī). The expression “that haply you may be questioned” is understood by some to mean “so that you may come to understand.” In certain interpretations, the instruction to return to worldly life is regarded as a form of mockery or rebuke directed toward those who had lived in arrogance, while others consider it a rhetorical device emphasizing the impossibility of escaping divine judgment. Some exegetes also suggest that these words may be spoken either by the angels or directly by God (Rāzī).
