What Remains
وَيَبۡقَىٰ وَجۡهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو ٱلۡجَلَٰلِ وَٱلۡإِكۡرَامِ ٢٧
There remaineth but the Countenance of thy Lord of Might and Glory.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honour.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, “Face” here means the Lord Himself, since the attribute “Owner of Majesty and Honour” is grammatically tied to it.
Reflect
Invest today in what lasts: Allah’s pleasure.
