Sura 22
Aya 64
64
لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۗ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُوَ الغَنِيُّ الحَميدُ

Yusuf Ali

To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth: for verily God,- He is free of all wants, Worthy of all Praise.1
  • Each of the verses 22:61-63 mentioned two attributes of God with reference to the contents of that verse. This verse now sums up the whole argument, and the two attributes with which it closes sum up the idea by which we can understand God’s goodness. God’s loving kindness and mercies are not like those of human creatures who all depend upon one another, and often expect some kindness or recognition in return. God is above all wants and depends in no way whatever on His creatures. His mercies have therefore a special quality, which we cannot describe except by gratefully singing the praises of God. Cf. 2:267.
