Surah 19. Maryam, Ayah 80

Lit., "inherit from him" - a metaphor based on the concept of one person's taking over what once belonged to, or was vested in, another.

I.e.. bereft of any extraneous support, and thus depending on God's grace and mercy alone (cf. 6:94 as well as verse [95] of the present surah).

Literally, "We shall inherit", Cf. xix. 40 and n. 2492. Even if the man had property and power, it must go back to the Source of all things, and the man must appear before the Judgment-seat, alone and unaccompanied, stripped of all the things from which he expected so much!
