Surah 63. Al-Munafiqun, Ayah 9
| يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | yaa 'ayyuhaa 'alladhena 'aamano laa tulhi -kum amwaal -kum wa- laa awlaad -kum can dhikr 'allaah wa- man yafcal dhaalika fa- 'olaa'ika hum al- khaasiron |
| Pickthall | : | O ye who believe! Let not your wealth nor your children distract you from remembrance of Allah. Those who do so, they are the losers. |
| Asad | : | O YOU who have attained to faith! Let not your worldly goods or your children make you oblivious of the remembrance of God: for if any behave thus - it is they, they who are the losers! |
| Malik | : | O believers! Let neither your riches nor your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. Those who will do so, it is they who shall be the real losers. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | O ye who believe! let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. If any act thus the loss is their own. 5476 |
Note - 5476Riches and human resources of all kinds are but fleeting
sources of enjoyment. They should not turn away the good
man from his devotion to Allah. "Remembrance of Allah"
includes every act of service and goodness, every kind
thought and kind deed, for this is the service and
sacrifice which Allah requires of us. If we fail in this,
the loss is our own, not any one else's: for it stunts
our own spiritual growth.
