"۔۔۔NOW AMONG THE PEOPLE THERE IS ONE WHO SAYS: 'OUR LORD, GIVE TO US IN THIS WORLD...;'AND HE, IN THE HEREAFTER, HAS NO SHARE." (Surah al-Baqarah:200)
Part 1
In the days of the Jahiliyyah (ignorance) there were people who, while they did Allah's Zikr (remembrance) and prayed to Allah during Hajj, but all their prayers were focused on their material needs like increase in their wealth, their worldly comforts, and worldly status. They did not pay any attention to the Aakhirah in their prayers. To correct their mistake it has been pointed out in this verse that there are some people who, when doing Hajj, only pray for the fulfilment of their worldly needs, and do not give due importance to the Aakhirah. These people will not earn any reward in the Aakhirah because their behaviour shows that they have gone through Hajj merely as a formality, or have done this to earn prestige in the society. It was not their goal to please Allah Ta'alah and to earn deliverance in the Aakhirah.
