The Holy Quran 63:9 — Surah Al-Munafiqun

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَٰلُكُمْ وَلَآ أَوْلَـٰدُكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Let not your wealth and your children (the things of this world) make you neglect Allaah's remembrance (the duties that you owe to Allaah). Those who do this are certainly losers (who will lose the bounties of the Aakhirah).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Do not fall into heedlessness because of wealth and children: that is, it is a great loss and ruin for a person to abandon what is lasting and occupy himself with what is perishable, and to turn from the higher and become entangled in the lower.
