O ye who believe! Let not your riches or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. If any act thus, the loss is their own. 9 And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, "My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous." 10 But God will not grant a reprieve to a soul when its appointed time has come; God is well-aware of what you do. 11
