أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
Assalamoalaekum السلام عليكم
I am sharing an ayah and my reflection on it which inspired me today. If it is of any benefit then all praise to Allah. All the shortcoming are due to me. Oh Allah guide us, forgive us and have mercy on us. Ameen

Surah An-Noor, Verse 37:
رِجَالٌ لَّا تُلْهِيهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَلَا بَيْعٌ عَن ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ يَخَافُونَ يَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ وَالْأَبْصَارُ
Men whom neither merchandise nor selling diverts from the remembrance of Allah and the keeping up of prayer and the giving of poor-rate; they fear a day in which the hearts and eyes shall turn about;
Surah An-Noor, Verse 38:
لِيَجْزِيَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُوا وَيَزِيدَهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ وَاللَّهُ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
That Allah may give them the best reward of what they have done, and give them more out of His grace; and Allah gives sustenance to whom He pleases without measure.

These ayahs are also connected with ayah 35 and 36. As it is telling what kind of men go to the mosques or places/homes that are exalted and Allah is remembered and glorified there.
So it is kind of men
1. Who are NOT distracted by merchandise and selling
2. They fear a day when hearts and eyesights are over turned.
Some might say this ayah is relevant to business people only but not relevant to working class. I would say every body is involved in the business either in the form of employee or employer. So i would say this ayah applies to working class as well as business class.
Now why are they distracted by merchandise and selling because that is how they earn their money to support themselves and their family. And I would say this kind of distraction is there for every man who goes out to work either as a business man or as an employee working for a business. Alhamdolillah I am saved by this kind of distraction alhamdolillah. No words of acknowledgement and thanks can be enough.
Now my FIRST job is to make duaa for those who is being distracted by selling and merchandise and stopped going to the mosque and this distraction is preventing them to remember Allah and establish Salah and to give Zakah. May Allah save us all from every distraction and may Allah help us remain focused all the time and may Allah help us do something all the time to make Him happy.
And my SECOND job is the make duaa that we all fear the day when eyesights and hearts will be overturned.
Now coming back to the reason why men get distracted in their work and business. They get distracted because they have to support families and they spend from رزق or provision that Allah provided them. Ayah 38 came as an encouragement for those men who are trying their best to support their families and get distracted by business or work. It reminds them that Allah will reward them according to the best of what they do and Allah will give them even more out of His grace. ALLAH AKBAR. Only Allah can reward a person according to best of what they do.
So my THIRD job as a woman is to encourage my man for his efforts and to remind him that Allah will reward him according to best of his efforts and to remind both of us that Allah provides to whom He wills without account as mentioned in ayah 38.
And my FOURTH job as a Muslim women to make dua for all men that Allah save them from distraction of selling, merchandise, business and work which distracted them from remembering Allah, establishing prayer and giving of zakah.
