Explanatory translation

46“Because we did not follow Allah’s call to tawhid, our way of life changed our beliefs as well. And so, although we said with our tongues that we believed in the Day of Reckoning, we did not live as we believed. Instead, we chose to believe as we lived. By not preparing for that day through the way we lived, we disregarded the Hereafter. We thought that what we did would go unpunished. Even if we did not deny that Day of Reckoning in words, we had denied it in deed.”
