The Return Is to Him
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجۡعَىٰٓ ٨
Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the return is to Him and there is no escaping it. So whatever rank a person reaches, he should not see himself as self-sufficient and should guard against arrogance.
Reflect
Today, think about to whom you will return after all you do.
