Wealth of No Use
مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ ٢
His wealth and gains will not exempt him.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
His wealth and what he earned did not avail him.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, neither his wealth nor his earnings did him any good; none of it was of any use to save him.
Reflect
Today, spend some of your wealth on a good deed that will save you.
