Surah 39. Az-Zumar, Ayah 52
| أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | 'a- wa- lam yaclamo 'anna 'allaah yabsut. ar- rizq li- man yashaa' wa- yaqdir 'inna fe dhaalika la- 'aayaat li- qawm yu'minon |
| Pickthall | : | Know they not that Allah enlargeth providence for whom He will, and straiteneth it (for whom He will). Lo! herein verily are portents for people who believe. |
| Asad | : | Are they, then, not aware that it is God who grants abundant sustenance, or gives it in scant measure, unto whomever He wills? In this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who will believe! |
| Malik | : | Do they not know that Allah enlarges the provision for whom He pleases and restricts it from whom He wills? Surely there are signs in this for those who believe. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Know they not that Allah enlarges the provision or restricts it for any He pleases? Verily in this are signs for those who believe! 4323 |
Note - 4323Cf. xxviii. 82. Allah's gifts are given to all men-to
some in a greater degree than to others. But it is all
done according to His wise Plan, for His Will is just and
looks to the good of all creatures. No one should
therefore be puffed up in prosperity or cast down in
adversity. Prosperity does not necessarily mean merit on
man's part, nor adversity the reverse. Thinking men bear
in mind the large Plan-which is visible in all Allah's
Signs.
