English Translation
7When he sees himself as self-sufficient.
Explanatory translation
7Because he thinks he has no need of Allah’s guidance, and at once he grows haughty and arrogant. He begins to see himself as superior and considers himself self-sufficient. The human being attributes blessings such as knowledge, wealth, and power to himself, and imagines that he needs no one. Because of the wealth he owns, he claims that he has no need of the Quran’s guidance! In other words, a kind of intoxication with power takes hold of him. He does not think about the blessings his Lord has given him in this world. He imagines that whatever he has in this world, he acquired on his own.
