The meaning, simply

It is said to the deniers as a warning: Eat and enjoy yourselves a little in this world; you are wrongdoers. Woe that Day to the deniers. When they are told: Bow down and pray to Allah, they do not bow. Woe that Day to the deniers. If they do not believe in this Quran, then in what message after it will they believe?
