(Those whose effort goeth astray) those whose works are thwarted (in the life of the world) these are the Kharijites; and it is also said that this refers to anchorites, (and yet they reckon that they do good work) and yet think that they are doing righteous works.
- 18:104104
الَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا
Theirs whose effort is misspent in pursuit of the pleasures of the world, even though they think they are doing good things."
