34.37

وَ مَاۤ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَ لَاۤ اَوْلَادُكُمْ بِالَّتِیْ تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِنْدَنَا زُلْفٰۤى اِلَّا مَنْ اٰمَنَ وَ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا٘-فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمْ جَزَآءُ الضِّعْفِ بِمَا عَمِلُوْا وَ هُمْ فِی الْغُرُفٰتِ اٰمِنُوْنَ(37)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And your wealth and your children are not capable of bringing you near to Us, except the one who believed and did good deeds. For them is reward, multiplied; the recompense of their deeds, and they are in the upper chambers; in peace.

Commentary

The Makkan disbelievers exhibited pride in their wealth and children and thought that an abundance of these will bring them closer to Allah Almighty—this claim of theirs was refuted. Only the wealth that a believer spends in the way of Allah, and his religiously devout and learned offspring are means to become closer to Allah Almighty. Unfortunately, many Muslims today express conceit due to wealth and children. They hold the poor and those without children in contempt. They perceive having affluence and children as matters that will lead to attaining proximity to Allah. Instead of teaching their children about Islam and piety, they only focus on facilitating the attainment of non-religious education.
