Sura 14
Aya 14
14
وَلَنُسكِنَنَّكُمُ الأَرضَ مِن بَعدِهِم ۚ ذٰلِكَ لِمَن خافَ مَقامي وَخافَ وَعيدِ

Muhammad Asad

and most certainly shall We cause you to dwell on earth [long] after they have passed away:1 this is [My promise] unto all who stand in awe of My presence, and stand in awe of My warning!"2
  • Lit., "after them": implying a divine promise that the truth preached by the apostles would outlive its detractors (cf. verse 9 above, "None knows them [now] save God"), and would triumph in the end.
  • As Zamakhshari points out, the divine promise expressed in the above verse is equivalent to the statement in 7:128 that "the future (al-aqibah) belongs to the God-conscious".
