action from the community. If the general body has a reverse, he blesses Allah that he was not among them, instead of
being ashamed of himself for desertion. If the general body wins a success, he does not rejoice for the common cause,
but only regrets for himself that he was not there to share in the glory and the gains! (4.72)
42:30 - Whatever misfortune happens to you is because of the things your hands have wrought and
for many (of them) He grants forgiveness. 4570
4570 All evil, all sorrow, all pain and affliction, are things not normal, things twisted from the pure and holy nature as created
by Allah's hands. As far as man is concerned, his misfortunes are but the consequences of the things he has done.
He must bear personal responsibility for them and not throw the blame on others. (42.30)
57:22 - No misfortune can happen on earth or in your souls but is recorded in a decree before We
bring it into existence: that is truly easy for Allah: 53085309
5308 External disasters or misfortunes may strike people's eye or imagination, but there are worse crisis and misfortunes in
the spiritual world, which are of equal or greater importance to man's future. All this happens according to the Will and
Plan of Allah. Even where we are allowed the exercise of our own wills, the consequences that follow are in
accordance with the laws and Plan decreed by Allah beforehand. (57.22)
