وَمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُم بِالَّتِي تُقَرِّبُكُمْ عِندَنَا زُلْفَى إِلَّا مَنْ آمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَأُولَئِكَ لَهُمْ جَزَاءُ الضِّعْفِ بِمَا عَمِلُوا وَهُمْ فِي الْغُرُفَاتِ آمِنُونَ
It is not your wealth, nor your children, that will bring you close to Us in nearness, excepting those who have faith and act righteously. It is they for whom there will be a twofold reward for what they did, and they will be secure in lofty abodes.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 34:37
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 34:37] The criterion for judging man's personal merit will not be based on any material possessions, or any influence, other than spiritual excellence and manifested righteousness in practical life. All worldly goods are nothing but a passing cloud that casts a shadow, running away with them. Real self-development needs correct faith and righteousness in daily life. The reward for righteousness will be manifold.
