Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah (Surah Al-Munafiqun 63: 9)

The Importance of not being too concerned with the Matters of the Worldly Life, and being Charitable before Death


Allah the Exalted orders His faithful servants to remember Him frequently and to refrain from being distracted from His remembrance by indulging in their properties and children excessively. Allah informs them that those who engage in this life, its delights and attributes and were busied from the obedience and remembrance of Allah, for which they were created, will be among the losers. They will lose themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Allah encourages the believers to spend in His cause.
