Let’s Read Surah Kahf Today (Friday): Beyond Wealth and Children

Allah says in Surah al-Kahf:

ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَٱلْبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا 

“Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one’s] hope.”  (Qur’an 18:46)

This ayah reminds us of the true scale of value. Wealth and children are beautiful blessings—no doubt they bring joy, comfort, and pride—but they remain temporary decorations of this fleeting world. What endures beyond the grave are al-baqiyāt aṣ-ṣāliḥāt—the righteous deeds that remain recorded with Allah: every prayer, every word of remembrance, every act of charity, every sincere action done for His sake. 

These are far greater in reward and a source of real hope on the Day when nothing else will matter. The ayah redirects our attachment: cherish wealth and family as gifts, but invest your heart and efforts in good deeds that never perish.
