Salaam all



Fatara allatheena fee quloobihim maradun yusariAAoona feehim yaqooloona nakhsha an tuseebana dairatun faAAasa Allahu an yatiya bialfathi aw amrin min AAindihi fayusbihoo AAala ma asarroo fee anfusihim nadimeena

The Aya says:
So you (singular) see those in whose hearts is weakness hurrying in them. They say we fear that we get hit by a calamity. So perhaps
Allah comes with the relief or an implement from His then they become, upon what they kept secret in themselves, regretful.

My personal note:
This aya hints about people who have weakness in the hearts which is weakness in their feeling of security and safety in God. Those people may go against the directives of the previous Aya because of fear.

The Aya says that those people will regret their decision. This is either because the relief of this fear will come from God or other implement, which may include punishment from God, will come. The first one they will regret not waiting and the second, they will regret their action.

This Aya is another message that a Mu’min is the person who has safety in God will not look for safety elsewhere and certainly not in things that God prohibited.
