(Ayah 26){ كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ:’’ فَانٍ ‘‘’’فَنِيَ يَفْنٰي فَنَاءً‘‘} (S) is an active participle. Previously, in Ayah (10), the earth was mentioned; after that, the things present on the earth are mentioned, which include jinn and mankind, as well as the diverse examples of Allah Almighty’s power and blessings. After that, it is stated that none of these have permanence or continuity; all are destined to perish. Permanence and continuity belong only to the pure essence of Allah Almighty. (See Aal-e-Imran: 185; Furqan: 58) For the explanation of the verse, see the commentary of Surah Qasas (88).
