Explanatory translation

20Because you have made wealth the sole aim of life, love of possessions has blinded you. With your passion for hoarding, how intensely you love worldly goods and money! The wealth and property to which one is bound unconditionally, and for whose sake Allah’s rulings are trampled, become a person’s true god. Well then, this being so, how can you regard yourselves as being on the right path?
