1400 Those without Faith are selfish, and are so wrapped up in themselves that they think every good that comes to them is
due to their own merits or cleverness. That is itself a cause of their undoing. They do not see their own faults. (10.12)
30:33 - When trouble touches men they cry to their Lord turning back to Him in repentance: but
when He gives them a taste of Mercy as from Himself behold some of them pay part-worship
to other gods besides their Lord. 3545
3545 Cf. x. 12. It is trouble, distress, or adversity that makes men realize their helplessness and turns their attention back to
the true Source of all goodness and happiness. But when they are shown special Mercy-often more than they
deserve-they forget themselves and attribute it to their own cleverness, or to the stars, or to some false ideas to which
they pay court and worship, either to the exdusion of Allah or in addition to the lip-worship which they pay to Allah.
Their action in any case amounts to gross ingratitude; but in the circumstances it looks as if they had gone out of their
way to show ingratitude. (30.33)
39:8 - When some trouble toucheth man he crieth unto his Lord turning to Him in repentance: but
when He bestoweth a favor upon him as from Himself (man) doth forget what he cried and
prayed for before and he doth set up rivals unto Allah thus misleading others from Allah's
Path. Say "Enjoy thy blasphemy for a little while: verily thou art (one) of the Companions of the
Fire!" 42564257
4256 Cf. x. 12. Trouble and adversity often bring a man to his bearings. But if he is not firm and constant, he forgets the
lessons which life is meant to teach him. As soon as he gets a little prosperity, he forgets that it is from Allah, and
attributes it to something which may only be a secondary cause, e.g., his own efforts or the Powers of Nature, or
something which he has invented and made into a god, e.g., idols or fate. Allah is the Ultimate Cause of all things. To
set up rivals to him in this way is not only wrong and degrading to the false worshipper himself, but misleads countless
ignorant people, who may not be able to make allowances for the figures of speech or the symbolism by which subtler
minds can explain away falsehoods. (39.8)
4257 Those who practise and those who teach evil and blasphemy may seem to flourish in this world. But their satisfaction
will be of very short duration. They are treading all the while the Path that leads to the Fire of Perdition. (39.8)
39:49 - Now when trouble touches man he cries to Us; but when We bestow a favor upon him as
from Ourselves he says "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge (I have)!"
Nay but this is but a trial but most of them understand not! 431843194320
5:101 -O ye who believe! ask not questions about things which if made plain to you may cause you
trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being revealed they will be made plain
to you: Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Forbearing. 807
807 Many secrets are wisely hidden from us. If the future were known to us, we need not necessarily be happy. In many
cases we should be miserable. If the inner meaning of some of the things we see before our eyes were disclosed to
us, it might cause a lot of mischief. Allah's Message, in so far as it is necessary for shaping our conduct, is plain and
open to us. But there are many things too deep for us to understand, either individually or collectively. It would be
foolish to pry into them, as some people tried to do in the time of the Prophet. Where a matter is mentioned in the Quran,
we can reverently ask for its meaning. That is not forbidden. But we should never pass the bounds of (1) our own
capacity to understand, (2) the time and occasion when we ask questions, and (3) the part of the Universal Plan which
it is Allah's purpose to reveal to us. (5.101)
20:40 "Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith `Shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the
(child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother that her eye might be cooled and she should
not grieve. Then thou didst slay a man but We saved thee from trouble and We tired thee in
various ways. Then didst thou tarry a number of years with the people of Midian. Then didst
thou come hither as ordained O Moses! 2561256225632564
7:129 - They said: "We have had (nothing but) trouble both before and after thou comest to us."
He said: "It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you inheritors in the
earth; that so He may try you by your deeds." 10861087
1087 The Israelites, despised and enslaved, were to be rescued and made rulers in Palestine. David and Solomon were
great kings and played a notable part in history. But the greatness of Israel was conditional: they were to be judged by
their deeds. When they fell from grace, other people were given honour and power. And so it came to be the turn of
the Muslims, and so on. Allah gives His gifts to those who are righteous and obey His Law. (7.129)
