Men whom neither trade nor sale diverts them from the Remembrance of Allah (with heart and tongue), nor from performing As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), nor from giving the Zakat. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will be overturned (from the horror of the torment of the Day of Resurrection).

ایسے لوگ جنہیں تجارت اور خرید وفروخت اللہ کے ذکر سے اور نماز کے قائم کرنے اور زکوٰة ادا کرنے سے غافل نہیں کرتی اس دن سے ڈرتے ہیں جس دن بہت سے دل اور بہت سی آنکھیں الٹ پلٹ ہوجائیں گی
