Translation of Verse 9-11

9. O believers! Do not let your wealth or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. For whoever does so, it is they who are the ˹true˺ losers.

10. And donate from what We have provided for you before death comes to one of you, and you cry, "My Lord! If only You delayed me for a short while, I would give in charity and be one of the righteous."

11. But Allah never delays a soul when its appointed time comes. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.
