Sura 11
Aya 86
86
بَقِيَّتُ اللَّهِ خَيرٌ لَكُم إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ ۚ وَما أَنا عَلَيكُم بِحَفيظٍ

Yusuf Ali

“That which is left you by God is best for you,1 if ye (but) believed! but I am not set over you to keep watch!”
  • God’s Law does not require that a man should deprive himself of the things that are necessary for his own well-being and development. If he follows God’s Law, what is left him after he renders to others their just dues will be not only enough, but will be the best possible provision for his own physical and spiritual growth. Even the kindness and consideration which God’s Law inculcates are in the best interests of the man’s own soul. But of course the kindness and consideration must be spontaneous. It must flow from the man’s own will, and cannot be forced on him by the Teachers who come from God to show him the way.
