thing befalleth them they say: This is of thy doing (O Muhammad). Say (unto

Lesson
Hasanatun - (a happy thing), everything of benefit,
happiness, goodness, betterment and virtue is included in the meanings of this
word. Here it aims ‘attainment of victory and success, wealth, fortune and
riches’.
sayyi-‘atun - (an evil thing), each kind of loss, badness, defect and ruin
includes in its meaning. In this verse, it signifies towards the defeat and
vital loss) pertaining to life and property).
One
more manner of execution of the Hypocrites has been described in this verse. When
success is acquired in the battle and abundant wealth is possessed then they
say, “Allah Almighty bestowed us victory with His Dignity and gave so much
wealth”. On the contrary, if the defeat is faced, and loss of life and property
is confronted in the battle, then they accuse the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) that He did not plan correctly
for the war, due to which we sustained this loss.
Allah
Almighty commands, “Tell them that victory and defeat, success and failure, profit
and loss (entire things) are from Allah Almighty. You do not understand the
matter to the extent that nobody can do anything except Him”. In the next
verse, Allah Almighty narrated, “You should understand that whatever of good
befalls you (O people) it is from Allah Almighty, and whatever of ill befall you
it is the fruit of your own deeds. When any badness reaches you, surely you are
guilty in it, due to which you are punished, so that you do not repeat such
mistake again. This punishment is given to correct you. What Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) plans, that is also
from Allah Almighty, then why do you blame Him (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him)? What is done, that is from Allah Almighty. If you gain
something, that is His Kindness and if you lose something, that is also from
Him.
