[Ruum 30:33] And when some affliction reaches men, they pray to their Lord inclining towards Him – and when He gives them a taste of His mercy, thereupon a group among them begins setting up partners to their Lord! [Ruum 30:34] In order to be ungrateful for Our bestowal; “Therefore enjoy”; you will soon come to know. [Ruum 30:35] Or have We sent down to them any proof, which therefore tells them of My partners? [Ruum 30:36] And when We give people the taste of mercy they rejoice at it; and if an ill fortune reaches them because of what their hands have sent ahead - thereupon they lose hope! [Ruum 30:37] And did they not see that Allah eases the sustenance for whomever He wills and restricts it for whomever He wills? Indeed in this are signs for people who believe. [Ruum 30:38] Therefore give the relative his right, and to the needy, and to the traveller; this is better for those who seek the pleasure of Allah; and it is they who are the successful. [Ruum 30:39] And that which you give upon usury, in order that it may increase the creditors’ property, will not increase before Allah; and the charity you give seeking the pleasure of Allah – only that will increase manifold. [Ruum 30:40] It is Allah Who created you and then provided you sustenance, then will cause you to die, and will then give you life again; is there any among your ascribed partners that can do any of these things? Purity and Supremacy are to Him, above their ascribing of partners (to Him)! Section 5
[Ruum 30:41] Chaos appears in the land and the sea because
of the evil deeds which people’s hands have earned, in order to make them
taste the flavour of some of their misdeeds – in order that they may come
back. |
