ٱلرُّوم : ٣٣

  • وَإِذَا And when
  • مَسَّ touches
  • ٱلنَّاسَ men
  • ضُرّٞ hardship
  • دَعَوۡاْ they call
  • رَبَّهُم their Lord
  • مُّنِيبِينَ turning
  • إِلَيۡهِ to Him
  • ثُمَّ Then
  • إِذَآ when
  • أَذَاقَهُم He causes them to taste
  • مِّنۡهُ from Him
  • رَحۡمَةً Mercy
  • إِذَا behold!
  • فَرِيقٞ A party
  • مِّنۡهُم of them
  • بِرَبِّهِمۡ with their Lord
  • يُشۡرِكُونَ associate partners
And when adversity touches the people, they call upon their Lord, turning in repentance to Him. Then when He lets them taste mercy from Him, at once a party of them associate others with their Lord,
And when some distress, some hardship, befalls people, that is, [people such as] the Meccan disbelievers, they call on their Lord, turning, returning, in penitence to Him, alone. Then, when He lets them taste mercy from Him, by way of rain, lo! a party of them ascribe partners to their Lord.
