Council - 42:12
To Him belongs all control of the heavens and the earth. He gives abundant sustenance to whom He wills or withholds it. He is All-Knowing.
Our Lord gives bounties in abundance or withholds them in order to test His servants:
The Dawn/89:15
"When his Lord gives to man abundantly to test him, he says: "My Lord has been generous to me"."
فَاَمَّا الْاِنْسَانُ اِذَا مَا ابْتَلٰيهُ رَبُّهُ فَاَكْرَمَهُ وَنَعَّمَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبّ۪ٓي اَكْرَمَنِۜ
The Dawn/89:16
"But when his Lord tests him by withholding his sustenance, he says, "My Lord has humiliated me."
وَاَمَّٓا اِذَا مَا ابْتَلٰيهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبّ۪ٓي اَهَانَنِۚ
The Cow/2:126
"Ibrahim said, "My Lord, make this a place of safety. Provide for your people who believe in Allah and the Last Day with crops,"when he said, "I will provide for the disbeliever. I will provide for him for a short time, then I will condemn him to the punishment of the Fire. What an evil abode is that!"
وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰه۪يمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هٰذَا بَلَداً اٰمِناً وَارْزُقْ اَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ مِنْهُمْ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِۜ قَالَ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاُمَتِّعُهُ قَل۪يلاً ثُمَّ اَضْطَرُّهُٓ اِلٰى عَذَابِ النَّارِۜ وَبِئْسَ الْمَص۪يرُ
The Family Of Imran/3:37
"Her Lord accepted her offering in a good way and raised her like a beautiful flower under Zechariah´s care. Every time Zacharias came to her in the temple, he found food with her. When he asked her, "Mary, from where does this come to you?"she replied, "It is from Allah. Allah gives provision to whom He wills without calculation."
فَتَقَبَّلَهَا رَبُّهَا بِقَبُولٍ حَسَنٍ وَاَنْبَتَهَا نَبَاتاً حَسَناًۙ وَكَفَّلَهَا زَكَرِيَّاۜ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا زَكَرِيَّا الْمِحْرَابَۙ وَجَدَ عِنْدَهَا رِزْقاًۚ قَالَ يَا مَرْيَمُ اَنّٰى لَكِ هٰذَاۜ قَالَتْ هُوَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
The Night Journey/17:20
And We will deliver to all of them, to them and to these, of the Blessings of your Lord. The bounties of your Lord are not limited.
كُلاًّ نُمِدُّ هٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ وَهٰٓؤُ۬لَٓاءِ مِنْ عَطَٓاءِ رَبِّكَۜ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَٓاءُ رَبِّكَ مَحْظُوراً
The Cave/18:39
"Should you not have said as you entered your vineyard, ´This is a gift from Allah, and strength is only with Allah´? You may see that I have less money and children than you, but"
وَلَوْلَٓا اِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُۙ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِۚ اِنْ تَرَنِ اَنَا۬ اَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مَالاً وَوَلَداًۚ
The Cave/18:40
"Perhaps my Lord will give me a better garden than yours, and perhaps He will send a calamity on your garden from the sky and it will turn into a dry land.
فَعَسٰى رَبّ۪ٓي اَنْ يُؤْتِيَنِ خَيْراً مِنْ جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَاناً مِنَ السَّمَٓاءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَع۪يداً زَلَقاًۙ
The Cave/18:41
"Or its water will sink to the bottom and you will not find water again."
اَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَٓاؤُ۬هَا غَوْراً فَلَنْ تَسْتَط۪يعَ لَهُ طَلَباً
The Cave/18:42
"Then its produce was destroyed. And he began to mourn for the labor he had put into his vineyard, whose arbors were piled upon it, and he said, "I wish I had not associated partners with my Lord."
وَاُح۪يطَ بِثَمَرِه۪ فَاَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلٰى مَٓا اَنْفَقَ ف۪يهَا وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوشِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَن۪ي لَمْ اُشْرِكْ بِرَبّ۪ٓي اَحَداً
The Stories/28:79
"At one time he came out among his people in all his splendor. Those who chose the life of this world said: "If only we had been given the like of what was given to Karun. Indeed, he is a very lucky man"."
فَخَرَجَ عَلٰى قَوْمِه۪ ف۪ي ز۪ينَتِه۪ۜ قَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ يُر۪يدُونَ الْحَيٰوةَ الدُّنْيَا يَا لَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَٓا اُو۫تِيَ قَارُونُۙ اِنَّهُ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظ۪يمٍ
The Stories/28:80
"Those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you, for better is the reward of Allah for him who believes and does righteous deeds. Only the patient shall attain it."
وَقَالَ الَّذ۪ينَ اُو۫تُوا الْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ لِمَنْ اٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاًۚ وَلَا يُلَقّٰيهَٓا اِلَّا الصَّابِرُونَ
The Stories/28:81
We drove him down into the earth with his house, and he had no company to help him except Allah, and he was not of the victorious.
فَخَسَفْنَا بِه۪ وَبِدَارِهِ الْاَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ فِئَةٍ يَنْصُرُونَهُ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِۗ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُنْتَصِر۪ينَ
The Stories/28:82
"Those who envied him on the previous day said: "So Allah gives abundant provision to whomsoever of His servants He wills and withholds it from whomsoever He wills. If Allah had not favored us, He would have made us fail. So the disbelievers do not succeed"."
وَاَصْبَحَ الَّذ۪ينَ تَمَنَّوْا مَكَانَهُ بِالْاَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِه۪ وَيَقْدِرُۚ لَوْلَٓا اَنْ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَاۜ وَيْكَاَنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ۟
Council/42:49
To Allah belongs the government of the heavens and the earth. He creates whom He wills. He gives females to whom He wills and males to whom He wills.
لِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَٓاءُۜ يَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ اِنَاثاً وَيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ الذُّكُورَۙ
Council/42:50
Or He gives pairs, both male and female. And He makes whom He wills barren. He is the All-Knowing, the All-Sufficient.
اَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَاناً وَاِنَاثاًۚ وَيَجْعَلُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُ عَق۪يماًۜ اِنَّهُ عَل۪يمٌ قَد۪يرٌ
