Tafsir

قوله - عز وجل - : ( ياأيها الذين آمنوا لا تلهكم ) ، لا تشغلكم ( أموالكم ولا أولادكم عن ذكر الله ) ، قال المفسرون يعني الصلوات الخمس ، نظيره قوله : " لا تلهيهم تجارة ولا بيع عن ذكر الله " ( النور - 37 ( ومن يفعل ذلك ) ، أي من شغله ماله وولده عن ذكر الله ( فأولئك هم الخاسرون ) .

After Allah showed the keenness of the hypocrites on holding back from spending in order to prevent others from Allah’s path, He warns the believers against doing the same and instructs them to spend in His path by saying: O you who have faith in Allah, and who act on what He has ordained for you, do not let your wealth nor your children distract you from the prayer or any of the other obligations of Islam. Those whose wealth and children distract them from the prayer and the other obligations that Allah has imposed on them, they are the true losers who will lose themselves and their families on the day of judgment.
