The Inheritor

To whom all returns in the end.

The tongue

From w-r-th; wirth, the inheritance. Wārith, the one who inherits.

The reason

When all people will have passed — their goods, their works, their names — He will remain, the sole Inheritor of all.

The Sufi meaning

To meditate on this Name relativises every attachment to possessions: you only occupy temporarily. The true owner comes after you.

The servant's portion

Do not believe yourself the owner of what you hold. You are its usufructuary — and soon the inheritance will return to the Inheritor.
