Inheritance of the Earth

وِرَاثَة ٱلْأَرْض

The concept of "Inheritance of the Earth" (وِرَاثَة ٱلْأَرْض) in Islam beautifully encapsulates Allah's ultimate sovereignty and humanity's profound responsibility. At its heart, it teaches that the entire earth, with all its bounties and inhabitants, belongs to Allah alone. [Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned]. This reminds us that our time on earth is transient, and everything we possess is a temporary trust from the Divine, prompting reflection on our stewardship. Yet, this concept also grants humanity a unique role: Allah has made us [successors upon the earth], entrusting us with its care and cultivation. While the earth inherently belongs to Allah, [He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants, and the [best] outcome is for the righteous]. This signifies a divine promise that those who strive for piety, uphold justice, and remain patient will ultimately be granted leadership and well-being on earth, replacing those who cause corruption. Thus, "Inheritance of the Earth" inspires both humility before Allah's ultimate power and hope for a just future guided by righteous hands.

Quran 12 verses

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَٰٓئِفَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَٰتٍ لِّيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِى مَآ ءَاتَىٰكُمْ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌۢ

Wa Huwal lazee ja'alakum khalaaa'ifal ardi wa rafa'a ba'dakum fawqa ba'din darajaatil liyabluwakum fee maaa aataakum; inna Rabbaka saree'ul 'iqaab; wa innahoo la Ghafoorur Raheem

And it is He who has made you successors upon the earth and has raised some of you above others in degrees [of rank] that He may try you through what He has given you. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.

اور وہی تو ہے جس نے زمین میں تم کو اپنا نائب بنایا اور ایک کے دوسرے پر درجے بلند کئے تاکہ جو کچھ اس نے تمہیں بخشا ہے اس میں تمہاری آزمائش ہے بےشک تمہارا پروردگار جلد عذاب دینے والا ہے اور بےشک وہ بخشنے والا مہربان بھی ہے

Commentary

Ma'arif-ul-Quran: In the fifth (164) verse, Surah Al-An` am reaches its end at a comprehensive note of advice. It brings the past history of peoples and their times into focus and invites attention to a projection towards the future by saying: وَهُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَائِفَ الْأَرْ‌ضِ وَرَ‌فَعَ بَعْضَكُمْ فَوْق...

Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."

And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.

اور جو لوگ کمزور سمجھے جاتے تھے ان کو زمین (شام) کے مشرق ومغرب کا جس میں ہم نے برکت دی تھی وارث کردیا اور بنی اسرائیل کے بارے میں ان کے صبر کی وجہ سے تمہارے پروردگار کا وعدہٴ نیک پورا ہوا اور فرعون اور قوم فرعون جو (محل) بناتے اور (انگور کے باغ) جو چھتریوں پر چڑھاتے تھے سب کو ہم نے تباہ کردیا

Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient.

جو لوگ تم میں سے ایمان لائے اور نیک کام کرتے رہے ان سے خدا کا وعدہ ہے کہ ان کو ملک کا حاکم بنادے گا جیسا ان سے پہلے لوگوں کو حاکم بنایا تھا اور ان کے دین کو جسے اس نے ان کے لئے پسند کیا ہے مستحکم وپائیدار کرے گا اور خوف کے بعد ان کو امن بخشے گا۔ وہ میری عبادت کریں گے اور میرے ساتھ کسی چیز کو شریک نہ بنائیں گے۔ اور جو اس کے بعد کفر کرے تو ایسے لوگ بدکردار ہیں

Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil and makes you inheritors of the earth? Is there a deity with Allah? Little do you remember.

And why do you not spend in the cause of Allah while to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who spent before the conquest [of Makkah] and fought [and those who did so after it]. Those are greater in degree than they who spent afterwards and fought. But to all Allah has promised the best [reward]. And Allah, with what you do, is Acquainted.
