Allah extends provision to whom He wills

Chapter “Qasas”- (The Story) - 28

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahiminash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

   فَخَسَفْنَا بِهِۦ وَبِدَارِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ مِن فِئَةٍ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنتَصِرِينَ 81  وَأَصْبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوْا۟ مَكَانَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ

                               

81.  So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling-place. Then he had no host to help him against Allah, nor was he of those who can save themselves. 82a.  And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday saying: Ah, well a day! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will).

81.  FakhasafNaa  bihii  wa  bidaarihil-‘arz.  Famaa  kaana  lahuu  min-  fi-‘atiny-yansuruunahuu  min  duuNillaahi  wa  maa  kaana  minal-muntasiriin. 82a.  Wa  ‘asbahallaziina  tamannaw  makaanahuu  bil-‘amsi  yaquuluuna  wayka-‘annAllaaha  yabsu-tur-rizqa  limany-yashaaa-‘u  min  ‘ibaadiHii  wa  Yaqdir.

Commentary

FakhasafNaa – {We caused (the earth) to swallow}, it is in Past Tense from the word khasaf, which means “to cause to swallow”.

Fi-‘atin – (host, company),

Wayka-‘anna – (Ah, we understood now),

Korah could not understand due to haughtiness of his wealth that he was not the person who would have power over the universe, but That is Allaah Almighty. There is no one who may say something before Him without His permission. Qarun was an unfortunate person. As he used to reproach other common people, he wrangled also with Moses (peace be upon him).

It is commanded: We caused the earth to swallow him along with his treasures and his home. Then neither his supporters could save him and nor he himself could escape. It is true that everything is helpless before Allaah Almighty. When those people who were desirous of wealth yesterday and saying: Ah, would that we had the like of what has been given to Korah, they began to say, "Oh! It was the matter that Allaah Almighty extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it from whom He wills. Riches are not the signs of it that the rich people are liked also by Allaah Almighty.
