Commentary 64:15 To translate this verse only literally as “Some of your possessions and your children are enemies to you” will lose the object of moral training intended…
إِنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ۚ
64:15 To translate this verse only literally as “Some of your possessions and your children are enemies to you” will lose the object of moral training intended by Allâh. The verse carries the wider sense that sometimes a person becomes remiss in the performance of his duties to Allâh and to humankind because of the bonds of relationship and his being busy with pursuing his obligations towards his family. It is in this sense and in such cases, his near relations become a kind of trial for him. The better translation should be, “Verily, your possessions and your children are a means to reveal your hidden Attributes.”
