And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt); if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e. reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss.
و از ميان مردم كسى است كه خدا را فقط بر يك حال [و بدون عمل‌] مى‌پرستد. پس اگر خيرى به او برسد بدان اطمينان يابد، و چون بلايى بدو رسد روى برتابد. در دنيا و آخرت زيان ديده است. اين است همان زيان آشكار.
