20 Preface إِلَّا ابتِغاءَ وَجهِ رَبِّهِ الأَعلىٰYusuf AliBut only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;1The definition of Righteousness, Charity, or Self-sacrifice, becomes thus highly spiritualised. The Atqā are so completely identified with God’s Will that everything else is blotted out to them.
