8. Surah Al Anfal, Medina 88 [2H]

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version




ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللّهَ لَمْ يَكُ مُغَيِّرًا نِّعْمَةً أَنْعَمَهَا عَلَى قَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِهِمْ...   

8: 53.  "Because Allah will never change the grace which He hath bestowed on a people until they change what is in their (own) souls:

C1221. Allah bestows His grace freely, but He never withdraws it arbitrarily. Before He changes their state and circumstances, an actual state of rebellion and contumacy has arisen in their own souls, which brings about its inevitable punishment.

...وَأَنَّ اللّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٥٣﴾  

and verily Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things)."
