'O you who believe! Let not your wealth, nor your children, divert you from remembering Allah. And whoever does this, such are the ones doomed!' So says Verse 63:9 of the Qur'aan.
The Qur'aan has fixed times for the worship and remembrance of Allah (ذكر الله). But I have seen Muslims indulge in neglect therefrom. For various reasons that may boil down to the interests of their children or of their wealth!
Whatever the reasons, one ought to have a strong belief in Allah and a strong will to abide by divine directives. Where there is a will, there is a way!
And, besides at the times fixed, one can keep remembering Allah while doing mundane work too!
