Surah 19. Maryam, Ayah 40
| إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ الْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | 'in(na) -naa nah.nu narith al- 'ard. wa- man calay -haa wa- 'ilay -naa yurjacon |
| Pickthall | : | Lo! We inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and unto Us they are returned. |
| Asad | : | Behold, We alone shall remain after the earth and all who live on it have passed away,30 and [when] unto Us all will have been brought back. |
| Malik | : | Ultimately, all things will perish and it is We, Who will inherit the earth and all that is on it, and to Us shall they return. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | It is We Who will inherit the earth and all beings thereon: to Us will they all be returned. 2492 |
Note - 30Lit., "We alone shall inherit the earth and all who are
on it". For an explanation of this metaphoric use of the
concept of "inheritance", see surah {15}, note [22].

Note - 2492Cf. iii. 180. n. 485; xv. 23 n. 1964, Material property
passes from one to another: when one dies, another
inherits it. Allah gives life and death, and all that
survives after physical death goes back to Allah, the
original source of all things.
