HOW CAN A PERSON BE DECEIVED BY THIS WORLDLY LIFE?

From the strangest affairs is that this world has been created by Allāh and facilitated for the human, with the inclusion of the heavens and the earth, and He has prepared the good of this life as a means of aid towards the obedience of Allāh, so how can it suit an individual to become distracted from fulfilling the reason of his creation by the things that have been created as a means for him!?
As Allāh (عزوجل) says,

{ وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ (٥٦) }

"I have not created the Jinn and Mankind except to worship me alone.".
[Sūrah al-Dhāriyāt 51:56]
