So turn away from whoever turns his back on Our message and desires not except the worldly life.

Tafsir
So, O Messenger, ignore those who turn away from Allah’s remembrance without showing any concern for it, and who want only the life of this world and therefore do not work for their Hereafter because they do not believe in it.
