ٱلشُّورَىٰ : ٣٠

  • وَمَآ And whatever
  • أَصَٰبَكُم befalls you
  • مِّن of
  • مُّصِيبَةٖ (the) misfortune
  • فَبِمَا (is because) of what
  • كَسَبَتۡ have earned
  • أَيۡدِيكُمۡ your hands
  • وَيَعۡفُواْ But He pardons
  • عَن [from]
  • كَثِيرٖ much
And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.
And whatever affliction, [whatever] misfortune or hardship, may befall you - [this is] an address to the believers - is on account of what your [own] hands have earned, that is to say, [for] the sins that you have committed - the use of 'hands' to express this is because most actions are effected by them. And He pardons much, of these [sins] and does not requite them, for God's kindness is greater than that He should [for example] double the requital in the Hereafter; as for those who do not commit [grave] sins, then what befalls them in this world [of hardship] raises their degree in the [reward of the] Hereafter.
