فَلَا
تُعْجِبْكَ
أَمْوَالُهُمْ
وَلَا
أَوْلَادُهُمْ
إِنَّمَا
يُرِيدُ
اللَّهُ
لِيُعَذِّبَهُم
بِهَا
فِي
الْحَيَاةِ
الدُّنْيَا
وَتَزْهَقَ
أَنفُسُهُمْ
وَهُمْ
كَافِرُونَ
fa-lā tuʿjibka ʾamwāluhum wa-lā ʾawlāduhum ʾinnamā yurīdu llāhu li-yuʿadhdhibahum bihā fī l-ḥayāti d-dunyā wa-tazhaqa ʾanfusuhum wa-hum kāfirūna
So let not their wealth and children impress you: Allah only desires to punish them with these in the life of this world, and that their souls may depart while they are faithless.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Let not their wealth nor their (following in) sons dazzle thee: in reality Allah's plan is to punish them with these things in this life, and that their souls may perish in their (very) denial of Allah.
