What is the meaning of "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while You are the best of inheritors"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The verse is a supplication from the Prophet Zachariah (peace be upon him) for Allah to grant him a child. The meaning of "لا تذرني فردًا" (do not leave me alone) is without an heir, and "أنت خير الوارثين" (You are the best of inheritors) is a praise to Allah, signifying that He remains after creation perishes.
