Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(8:28) Know well that your belongings and your children are but a trial, *23 and that with Allah there is a mighty reward.
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*23). Excessive love of money and one's children often impair the sincerity of a person's faith and often lead man to hypocrisy, treachery and dishonesty. The Qur'an, therefore, clearly points out ihat since 1ove of wealth or children drives people off the right path, it constitutes a considerable test for them. One's property, one's business and one's offspring constitute a test for man since they have been in his custody so as to judge to what extent he observes the limits of propriety laid down by God and adequately performs his responsibilities. What is tested is how far man is able to control his animal self - which is strongly attached to worldly purposes - so that he is able to act as God's servant and render all the rights of worldly life in the manner laid down by God.
