21. And you forsake the Hereafter [13].

[13] After this parenthetical sentence, now the original subject resumes. One reason for the disbelievers’ denial of the Hereafter was mentioned: that by accepting the Hereafter, they are not willing to impose restrictions upon themselves. In these two verses, a second reason for denying the Hereafter is stated: you are people who only deal in immediate transactions; you want to do deeds whose reward you receive in this world, and you ignore those deeds whose reward is expected in the Hereafter. If the compensation is deferred and, according to your thinking, uncertain as well, then how can you prefer the Hereafter over this world?
