بَقِيَّتُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُم بِحَفِيظٍ
Baqiyyatu All a hi khayrun lakum in kuntum mumineena wam a an a AAalaykum bi h afee th in
That which rests with God119 is best for you, if you but believe [in Him]! However, I am not your keeper."
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., the lasting merit achieved by virtue of good deeds and fair dealings with one's fellow-men (cf. the expression al-baqiyat as-salihat in 18:46 and 19:76 ).

What remains with Allah is better for you if you are true believers, and I am not set up as a guardian over you."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
What is left 'as a lawful gain' by Allah is far better for you if you are 'truly' believers. And I am not a keeper over you.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
That which Allah leaveth with you is better for you if ye are believers; and I am not a keeper over you.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"That which is left you by Allah is best for you if ye (but) believed! But I am not set over you to keep watch!" 1585
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Allah's Law does not require that a man should deprive himself of the things that are necessary for his own well-being and development. If he follows Allah's Law, what is left him after he renders to others their just dues will be not only enough, but will be the best possible provision for his own physical and spiritual growth. Even the kindness and consideration which Allah's Law inculcates are in the best interests of the man's own soul. But of course the kindness and consideration must be spontaneous. It must flow from the man's own will, and cannot be forced on him by the Prophet who come from Allah to show him the way.
