The Holy Quran 24:37 — Surah An-Nur

Arabic text

رِجَالٌ لَّا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَـٰرَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَإِيتَآءِ ٱلزَّكَوٰةِ ۙ يَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِيهِ ٱلْقُلُوبُ وَٱلْأَبْصَـٰرُ

Translation

(These rightly guided men are) Men whom neither their trade nor commerce distracts from the Dhikr of Allaah, the establishment of Salaah and the paying of zakaah (they carry out all these obligations despite the commitments they have towards their businesses and occupations). (Their attitude is like this because) They fear a day (when they will pass away and the Day of Qiyaamah) when (because of fear and worries) their hearts and eyes will be overturned.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The men of Allah are never heedless: that is, the business of earning a living does not make them heedless of the remembrance of Allah and of carrying out the divine commands; neither the greatest commerce nor ordinary buying and selling, nothing, keeps them from the remembrance of Allah. Such was precisely the distinction of the Companions ﵃.
