Allah is Asking you This Question (3) Do They not See That Allah Has Power Over His Provision?
Author: Safaa Abdel-Aziz  | Posted: 21-02-2008 | Comments: 0 | Views: 33 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them. The answers for these questions may adjust and amend our way in this life and may change some of our ideas.
Allah' questions are many.
In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
The question in this article is:
"Do they not see that Allah outspreads and restricts his provision to whom he will?"
----------------------------------------------------
Verses 30:36-38 give the question of this article and talk about it
The meanings of Verses 30:36-38
Verse 30:36 says:
And when Allah let people, such as the disbelievers taste some mercy, some grace, they exult in it, an exultation of arrogance; they rejoice therein without giving thanks for Their Lord's mercy and grace.
But if some evil, some hardship, tightness, drought or sickness befall them as the consequence of their own deeds; befall them for what their own hands have sent ahead, behold! They despair from the mercy of Allah, and fail to withstand it!
It is in the nature of a believer to give thanks in times of grace and to hope for mercy from his Lord in times of hardship.
Verse 30:37 says:
Have they not seen, have they not realized, that Allah extends, He makes abundant, His provision to whomever He will, as a test, and straitens?,
And He restricts it for whomever He will, as a trial?
Surely in that there are signs and lessons for people who believe, in Muhammad and in the Quran.
Verse 30:38 says:
So give, O Muhammad and you believers to the kinsman, to the one related to you by blood (his due) the right of his kinship,
And to the needy give him clothing and food,
and to the wayfarer and the traveler; be hospitable to him as your guest for three days, and whatever you give him after three days is alms; the community must emulate him in this respect.
That is better for those who desire God’s Countenance, [who desire] His reward, in exchange for what they do; those, they are the successful, the winners.
That which I have mentioned of kinship, giving and hospitality is best; it is a reward and honour in the Hereafter for those who seek Allah's countenance by their giving. And such are they who are successful, those who are saved from Allah's wrath and torment.
----------------------------------------------------
Verses 30:36-38 in different translations:
Verse 30:36
QARIB: when we give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it, but when evil befalls them through the forwarding of their own hands, they become despondent.
SHAKIR: and when we make people taste of mercy they rejoice in it, and if an evil befall them for what their hands have already wrought, lo! they are in despair
PICKTHAL: and when we cause mankind to taste of mercy they rejoice therein; but if an evil thing befall them as the consequence of their own deeds, lo! they are in despair!
YUSUFALI: when we give men a taste of mercy, they exult thereat: and when some evil afflicts them because of what their (own) hands have sent forth, behold, they are in despair!
Verse 30:37
QARIB:
Do they not see that Allah outspreads and restricts his provision to whom he will? Surely, there are signs in this for those who believe.
SHAKIR:
Do they not see that Allah makes ample provision for whom he pleases, or straitens? Most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe
PICKTHAL:
See they not that Allah enlargeth the provision for whom he will, and straiteneth (it for whom he will). Lo! Herein indeed are portents for folk who believe.
YUSUFALI:
See they not that Allah enlarges the provision and restricts it, to whomsoever he pleases? Verily in that are signs for those who believe.
Verse 30:38
QARIB:
And give to the kinsman his due, and to the needy, and to the destitute traveler. That is best for those who desire the face of Allah; such will surely prosper.
SHAKIR:
Then give to the near of kin his due, and to the needy and the wayfarer; this is best for those who desire Allah's pleasure, and these it is who are successful
PICKTHAL:
So give to the kinsman his due, and to the needy, and to the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek Allah's countenance. And such are they who are successful.
YUSUFALI:
So give what is due to kindred, the needy, and the wayfarer. That is best for those who seek the countenance, of Allah, and it is they who will prosper.
