In Sermon (219), Imam Ali (peace be upon him) recited the verse ﴿Rijalun La Tulhihim Tijarah Wala Bay’un An Zikr Allah﴾, which translates to "Those are those whose trade and buying and selling do not make them oblivious to the remembrance of God." This verse highlights individuals who remain mindful of God despite their worldly engagements such as trade and business. It emphasizes that true success lies in the remembrance of God rather than in worldly achievements.

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) explains that the remembrance of God sharpens the heart's perception, allowing individuals to hear after being deaf, see after being blind, and submit after being obstinate. Such individuals are always close to God and their spiritual state surpasses their worldly condition. They are aware of their shortcomings and strive for self-improvement, which leads them to a better understanding of their actions.

He further elaborates that these individuals do not chase after worldly gains but instead live their lives in pursuit of God's pleasure. They are constantly evaluating their actions and feeling remorse for their sins, which ultimately brings them closer to God. This state of remorse is a catalyst for their spiritual growth and enlightenment.

This sermon teaches us the importance of maintaining a balance in our lives. While we engage in worldly affairs, we must keep the remembrance of God at the forefront of our hearts. It serves as a reminder that we will all be accountable for our actions, and we should continuously strive for self-improvement and spiritual elevation.
