Example sentence
وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ بَاقٍ
But what is with Allah endures.
بَاقٍ enduring
An active participle, an adjective-like form built from a verb, meaning 'remaining/enduring'. It works as the predicate, telling you what the 'what is with God' does: it lasts. Because it is a participle rather than a finite verb, it describes an ongoing, settled state rather than a single action.

How it is used
بَاقٍ is the active participle of بَقِيَ, which Lane glosses as 'to remain, continue, last, endure; to be or become permanent or perpetual' — explicitly the opposite of فَنِيَ 'to perish.' It describes whatever is still present or ongoing, or, more strongly, whatever persists forever. This sense underlies the classical phrase دَارُ البَقَاءِ, 'the abode of everlasting existence,' used for the world to come.
