Surah An-Nisa' Ayah 78

An-Nisa' · Ayah 78 · Juz 5 · Page 90

أَيۡنَمَا تَكُونُواْ يُدۡرِككُّمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ وَلَوۡ كُنتُمۡ فِي بُرُوجٖ مُّشَيَّدَةٖۗ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ حَسَنَةٞ يَقُولُواْ هَٰذِهِۦ مِنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَإِن تُصِبۡهُمۡ سَيِّئَةٞ يَقُولُواْ هَٰذِهِۦ مِنۡ عِندِكَۚ قُلۡ كُلّٞ مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِۖ فَمَالِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ لَا يَكَادُونَ يَفۡقَهُونَ حَدِيثٗا ٧٨

Aynamā takūnū yudrikkumul-mawtu wa law kuntum fī burūjim mushayyadah, wa in tuṣibhum ḥasanatuy yaqūlū hādhihī min ʿindillāh, wa in tuṣibhum sayyiʾatuy yaqūlū hādhihī min ʿindik, qul kullum min ʿindillāh, famāli hāʾulāʾil-qawmi lā yakādūna yafqahūna ḥadīthā.

Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they say, "This is from Allāh"; and if evil befalls them, they say,1 "This is from you." Say, "All [things] are from Allāh." So what is [the matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any statement?
