The Rocky Tract · Meccan · Juz 14 · Page 263
We Are the Inheritors
وَإِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ نُحۡيِۦ وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحۡنُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثُونَ ٢٣
Lo! and it is We, even We, Who quicken and give death, and We are the Inheritor.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
It is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, let them not say “our wealth will pass to our heirs”; Allah is the true heir of all.
Reflect
Know that Allah is the true owner of your wealth.
