What is the explanation of His saying, the Exalted: O you who have believed, let neither your wealth nor your children distract you from the remembrance of Allah.

Yes, as Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: Beautified for people is the love of desires, of women and children and heaped-up treasures of gold and silver, and so on.

If these things distract a person from Allah, Verheven en Hoog is Hij, from fulfilling what is obligatory.

Upon him for Allah, such as prayer, fasting, zakat, or other obligations, any love for children that distracts him from the remembrance of Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, then this is considered distraction.

It becomes a distraction.
