Evil Days (L-572)

وَإِن تُصِبْهُمْ حَسَنَةٌ يَقُولُوا۟ هَٰذِهِۦ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَإِن  تُصِبْهُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَقُولُوا۟ هَٰذِهِۦ مِنْ عِندِ كَ قُلْ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ فَمَالِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلْقَوْمِ لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ حَدِيثًا 78b. مَّآ أَصَابَكَ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ فَمِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَآأَصَابَكَ مِن سَيِّئَةٍ فَمِن نَّفْسِكَ وَأَرْسَلْنَٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُولًا وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًا 79.

78b.  Wa  ‘in-tusib-hum  hasanatuny-yaquuluu  haazihii  min  ‘inDillah.  Wa  ‘in-tusib-hum  sayyi-‘atuny-yaquuluu  haazihii min  ‘indik.  Qul  kullum-min ‘inDillah.  Famaali-haaa-‘ulaaa-‘il-qawmi  laa  yakaaduuna  yaf-qahuuna  hadiisaa. 79.  Maaa  ‘asaabaka  min  hasanatin  faminAllaah;  wa  maaa  ‘asaabaka  min-  sayyi-‘atin-  fa-min-naf-sik.  Wa  ‘arsalNaaka  linnaasi  Rasuulaa.  Wa  kafaa  Billaahi  Shahiidaa.

78b.  When a good fortune comes their way, they say, “This is from God.” But when a misfortune befalls them, they say, “This is from you.” Say, “All is from God.” So what is the matter with these people, that they hardly understand a thing? 79. Whatever good happens to you is from God, and whatever bad happens to you is from your own self. We sent you to humanity as a messenger, and God is Witness enough.

Hasanatun  - (a happy thing), everything of benefit, happiness, goodness, betterment and virtue are included in the meanings of this word. Here it aims ‘attainment of victory and success, wealth, fortune and riches’.

Sayyi-‘atun  - (an evil thing), every kind of loss, badness, defect and ruin is included in its meanings. In this verse, it signifies towards the defeat and vital loss) pertaining to life and property).

One more way of execution of the Hypocrites has been described in this verse. When success is acquired in the battle and abundant wealth is possessed then they say, “God bestowed to us victory with His Dignity and gave so much wealth”. On the contrary, if the defeat, loss of life and property is confronted in the battle, then they accuse the Messenger of God (ﷺ) that he did not make a plan correctly for the war, due to which we suffered from this loss.

God commands, “Tell them that victory and defeat, success and failure, profit and loss (entire things) are from God. You do not understand the matter to the extent that nobody can do anything except His Will”. In the next verse, God narrated, “You should understand that whatever of good befalls you (O people) it is from God, and whatever of ill befall you it is the consequence of your own deeds. When any badness reaches you, surely you are guilty in it, due to which you are punished, so that you must not repeat such error again. This punishment is given to correct you. What does Messenger of God (ﷺ) plan, is also from God, then why do you blame him (ﷺ)? Whatever happens; is from God. If you gain something, that is His Kindness and if you lose something, that is also from Him. https://youtu.be/--kOAhYmnJ8
