إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Ill a ibtigh a a wajhi rabbihi alaAAl a
but only out of a longing for the countenance of his Sustainer, the All-Highest:
  - Mohammad Asad
except seeking the good pleasure of his Rabb, the Most High.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
but seeking the pleasure of their Lord, the Most High.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
But only the desire to seek for the countenance of their Lord Most High. 6174
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The definition of Righteousness, Charity, or Self-sacrifice, becomes thus highly spiritualised. The Atqa are so completely identified with Allah's Will that everything else is blotted out to them. What would seem to be sacrifice from other points of view, becomes their own highest pleasure and satisfaction. Every virtuous man will have his own bliss, for there are degrees in virtue and bliss. This supreme bliss is the portion-not the prize-of supreme virtue.
