Al-Insan 76:27–28
They love the fleeting life
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ يُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ وَيَذَرُونَ وَرَآءَهُمْ يَوْمًۭا ثَقِيلًۭا ٢٧ نَّحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰهُمْ وَشَدَدْنَآ أَسْرَهُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا شِئْنَا بَدَّلْنَآ أَمْثَٰلَهُمْ تَبْدِيلًا ٢٨
The meaning, simply
These people love the quick life of this world and leave behind the work for the hard Day of Resurrection. We created them and made their bodies strong, and if We willed, We would bring other people in their place.
