Time passes and one's lifetime ends, but, he does not obtain any reward. Then, he, in the case, is in loss. [^3] However, according to Islamic world-view, this world is a market of bargaining, as a tradition from Imam Ali-ibn-Muhammad Naqi (the tenth Imam) (as) says: “The world is a market wherein some people gain and some others lose". [^4] The verse under discussion denotes that all lose in this market except a select group of people, whom will be referred to in the next verse.
