الآية رقم (20) - إِلَّا ابْتِغَاء وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَى

(20) - (But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High. (20))

The end purpose of every faith and deed is t seek Allah’s (swt) gratification and mercy. Allah (swt) says:

 {وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْرِي نَفْسَهُ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ رَءُوفٌ بِالْعِبَادِ }

(And of the people is he who sells himself, seeking means to the approval of Allah. And Allah is kind to [His] servants.) (Al-Baqara: 207) and says:

 {وَمَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمُ ابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِ اللَّهِ وَتَثْبِيتًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ جَنَّةٍ بِرَبْوَةٍ أَصَابَهَا وَابِلٌ فَآتَتْ أُكُلَهَا ضِعْفَيْنِ فَإِن لَّمْ يُصِبْهَا وَابِلٌ فَطَلٌّ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ }

(And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allah and assuring [reward for] themselves is like a garden on high ground which is hit by a downpour – so it yields its fruits in double. And [even] if it is not hit by a downpour, then a drizzle [is sufficient]. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.) (Al-Baqara: 265)

He does that seeking Allah’s (swt) gratitude, so, O’ charitable people, the rich, hasten towards Allah’s (swt) gratitude and give well to every needy.

Allah (swt) describes himself as The Most High, High in his attributes, for He (swt) is the most able, most dominant and most outstanding, He (swt) is above His creation, He is The High and The Great.
