O you who believe! Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And whosoever does that, then they are the losers. 9 And expend of that wherewith We have provided you afore death cometh unto one of you, and he saith: 'my Lord! wouldst Thou not defer me for a short term, so that I would give alms and become of the righteous. 10 God will never grant respite to any soul when its appointed time has come. God is Well-Aware of what you do. 11
