[The want of plenty distracted you] at-Takāthur:1
What is this Takāthur (plenty/excess)?
Allāh ﷻ does not specify what this plenty is, thus scholars such as as-Saʿdī comment that it includes everything that takes you away from the obedience of Allāh ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ, and everything that increasingly occupies your heart and time.
Be it wealth, entertainment, socialising, life dedicated to social media… or a simple hobby of leisurely reading — in an excessive form.
Anything and everything.
Note: When scholars list all that could possibly come under this plenty, they only include things that are generally Ḥalāl, but because of this obsessive excess, the Ḥalāl then becomes vilified.
