O believers! Do not let your wealth or your children distract you from remembrance of God. Those who do so will be the losers. And spend out of what We have provided you with before death comes to one of you and he says, ‘My Lord! If only You would grant me respite for a little while, then I would give alms and be among the righteous.’ But God will not grant a reprieve to a soul when its appointed time has come; God is well-aware of what you do. (63: 9-11) The biggest issue for man is the inevitability of the Hereafter. But the consideration of riches and children make a man unmindful of it. Man should know that riches and children are not the final goal but the blessings given to him to utilise them for God’s work. He should use them to improve his life in the Hereafter. But man, in his stupidity, takes them to be his goal. When such people come face to face with their eventual final fate, they will experience only frustration and regret.o NOTICE Subscribers are requested to inform us about non-receipt of their copies, latest by 18th of the month providing their full name and address.
