Believers, do not let your wealth and children divert you from remembering God. Whoever is diverted will suffer a great loss. 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 But God does not grant a soul respite once its term has come to end. And God is aware of what you do. 11
