After reproaching those who left the mountain and disobeyed the command of the Prophet (saws) for the spoils, Allah (swt) states a comparison, for a person has to walk in the path that pleases Allah (swt), however, pleasing Allah (swt) is the closest thing to man for a simple reason that man, by his instinct which is created in him, tends to be religious, with evidence that Allah (swt) says:

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتَ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُواْ بَلَى شَهِدْنَا أَن تَقُولُواْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَذَا غَافِلِينَ

{And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam – from their loins – their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Yes, we have testified.” [This] – lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, “Indeed, we were of this unaware.”} (Al-A’raaf: 172)

This covenant of instinct is embedded in every human being, Allah’s (swt) pleasure is to follow His commands, Allah (swt) has not assigned you what is difficult for you, even acts of worship such as prayer, fasting, Hajj and zakat are within your ability.

لاَ يُكَلِّفُ اللّهُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا

{Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.} (Al-Baqara: 286)

But is Allah’s pleasure connected with the worship? Or with the dealings? Or with ethics? The answer is with them all. For we cannot separate the purposes from the rituals, how to justify that you fast, pray, perform Hajj and give zakat, and yet you lie!! So, Allah’s pleasure with you depends upon your doing of good and applying your duties towards His creation.

So the answer to this verse is definitely not; because whoever pursues the pleasure of Allah (swt), Allah (swt) will grant him success in this world, and his end will be to the gardens of bliss, whereas the one who brings upon himself the anger of Allah, his refuge is Hell and the wretched destination.
