Transliteration:( Fa in tawallaw faqul hasbiyal laahu laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa 'alaihi tawakkkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul 'Arshil 'Azeem )
“Then if they turn their faces, please declare: ‘Allah is sufficient [366] for me. None is to be worshipped except Him. I put my trust in Him, and He is the Lord of the Supreme Throne [367].’”
This verse commands the Holy Prophet ﷺ to proclaim that Allah alone is sufficient for him, regardless of whether people accept or turn away. The Most Pure Prophet ﷺ is the greatest and most perfect reflection of Allah’s attributes, and his complete trust in Allah is a model for all believers. This declaration affirms exclusive devotion, reliance, and faith in Allah alone.
The concluding verse highlights Divine Sovereignty—Allah is the Lord of the Supreme Throne, the controller of all affairs. According to scholars, this verse and those preceding it also describe the Meelad (birth and attributes) of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, showcasing his exalted qualities and divine mission.
Previous Prophets also celebrated their own births and missions, making Meelad a Sunnah of the Prophets. This final verse thus encapsulates praise of Allah, complete reliance, and indirectly reinforces the greatness of the Prophet ﷺ as the one upheld and sustained by the Lord of all Power and Glory.
