Sura 6
Aya 135
135
قُل يا قَومِ اعمَلوا عَلىٰ مَكانَتِكُم إِنّي عامِلٌ ۖ فَسَوفَ تَعلَمونَ مَن تَكونُ لَهُ عاقِبَةُ الدّارِ ۗ إِنَّهُ لا يُفلِحُ الظّالِمونَ

Muhammad Asad

Say: "O my [unbelieving] people! Do yet all that may be within your power, [while] I, behold, shall labour [in God's way]; and in time you will come to know to whom the future belongs.1 Verily, never will evildoers attain to a happy state!"
  • Lit., "to whom the [happy] end of the abode shall belong". The term "abode" (dar) is used in the Qur'an with reference to both the life of this world (dar ad-dunya) and the life to come (dar al-akhirah). Most of the commentators are of the opinion that it refers here to the life to come; Zamakhshari, however, relates it to life on earth. Since either of these interpretations is agreeable with the text, I have chosen the above rendering which comprises both.
