28 Preface لا تُبقي وَلا تَذَرُYusuf AliNaught doth it permit to endure, and naught1 doth it leave alone!-He is in a state in which he neither lives nor dies (87:13). Looked at in another way, the things that in a good man are meant to last and grow, are for the sinner destroyed, and no part of his nature is left untouched. The brightness of his very manhood is darkened and extinguished by sin.
