وَمَاۤ اَمۡوَالُـكُمۡ وَلَاۤ اَوۡلَادُكُمۡ بِالَّتِىۡ تُقَرِّبُكُمۡ عِنۡدَنَا زُلۡفٰٓى اِلَّا مَنۡ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًـا فَاُولٰٓـئِكَ لَهُمۡ جَزَآءُ الضِّعۡفِ بِمَا عَمِلُوۡا وَهُمۡ فِى الۡغُرُفٰتِ اٰمِنُوۡنَ

(34:37) It is not your riches nor your children that make you near-stationed
to Us, except for him who has faith and acts righteously;57 it is
they who will receive double the recompense for their deeds. They shall live
in lofty mansions in perfect peace.58 (34:38) As for those who work against Our Signs so as to frustrate them,
they shall be arraigned into the chastisement.
57 This can have two meanings and both are correct:
(1) That which brings the people nearer to Allah is not wealth and children but faith and righteous deeds; and,
(2) wealth and children can become a means of nearness to Allah only for that believing, righteous person, who spends his wealth in the way of Allah and tries to make his children God-conscious and righteous by good education and training.
58. Here also is a subtle allusion that their blessing shall be imperishable, and their reward endless. For one cannot enjoy with full satisfaction of the heart a reward which is likely to perish or withdrawn suddenly at any time.
