8 Preface إِنَّ إِلىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجعىٰYusuf AliVerily, to thy Lord is the return (of all).1Man is not self-sufficient, either as an individual, or in his collective capacity. If he arrogates God’s gifts to himself, he is reminded—backwards, of his lowly physical origin (from a drop of animal matter), and forwards, of his responsibility and final return to God.
