إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَرِثُ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَإِلَيْنَا يُرْجَعُونَ
Inn a na h nu narithu alar d a waman AAalayh a wailayn a yurjaAAoon a
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.
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "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].

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.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Indeed, it is We Who will succeed the earth and whoever is on it. And to Us they will 'all' be returned.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Lo! We inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and unto Us they are returned.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
It is We Who will inherit the earth and all beings thereon: to Us will they all be returned. 2492
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. 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.
