The Pen
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[68:15]

* v.15 : The term banūn (lit., “children” or “sons”) is often used in the Qur’ān metonymically, denoting “popular support” or “many adherents”; in conjunction with the term māl (“worldly goods”) it is meant to illustrate a certain mentality which attributes a pseudo-religious significance to wealth and influence, and regards these visible signs of worldly success as a post-factum evidence of the “righteousness” of the person concerned and, hence, of his not being in need of further guidance.
