10:12
وَإِذَا مَسَّ الإِنسَانَ الضُّرُّ
دَعَانَا لِجَنبِهِ أَوْ قَاعِدًا أَوْ قَآئِمًا فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُ
ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمْ يَدْعُنَا إِلَى ضُرٍّ مَّسَّهُ كَذَلِكَ زُيِّنَ
لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَ
Waitha massa
alinsana alddurru daAAana lijanbihi aw
qaAAidan aw qaiman falamma kashafna AAanhu durrahu
marra kaan lam yadAAuna ila durrin massahu kathalika
zuyyina lilmusrifeena ma kanoo yaAAmaloona
The Aya says:
And
when the human is hit with harm, he supplicated to us on his side or sitting or
standing. So, when we cleared the harm
that afflicted him, he passed as if he never asked help for a harm that hit
him. As such, the wastefull perceive adorned
what they used to do.
My
personal note:
The Aya
reminds us that we come to God in time of need and forget him when we are in
good shape. This would be a great
injustice on our part.
