Surah An-Najm — 53:42

وَأَنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلْمُنتَهَىٰ

Wa anna ilaa rabbikal muntahaa

اور یہ کہ تمہارے پروردگار ہی کے پاس پہنچنا ہے

and that to your Lord is the final return,

Reflection

Everything from verse 38 onward is offered as a summary of what already stood in the scrolls of Ibrahim and Musa, so the claims arrive presented as old rather than new. The word here, muntaha, means a furthest limit, the point past which nothing continues, and it closes the running list of accounting by naming where all of it stops.
