Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

Tatamannaw (تَتَمَنَّوْا): To wish for or covet what belongs to others, often accompanied by envy or discontent.
Faddala (فَضَّلَ): To favor or bestow superiority upon someone over another.
Naseeb (نَصِيب): A designated share, portion, or allotment.
Iktasabū / Iktasabna (اِكْتَسَبُوا / اِكْتَسَبْنَ): What one has earned or attained through their own efforts and deeds.
Min Fadlihi (مِن فَضْلِهِ): From His bounty, grace, and generous giving.

Tafsir (Explanation):

O believers, do not let your hearts yearn for the worldly advantages and blessings that Allah has granted to others among you. Whether it be wealth, status, strength, or any other favor, know that Allah—in His infinite wisdom—has distributed these gifts according to what suits each person’s circumstances and what serves the greater good. Coveting what others possess breeds envy, resentment, and ingratitude, which poison the soul and distance one from contentment.

Indeed, Allah has decreed a fair and just share for every individual. Men will be rewarded according to what they earn and strive for, and women will likewise receive their due recompense for their deeds and efforts. No one is deprived of their rightful portion, and no one is held accountable for another’s actions. Each soul reaps what it sows, and Allah’s justice is perfect and impartial.

Rather than wasting your energy in wishing for what others have, turn your hearts toward Allah and ask Him sincerely to grant you from His abundant grace and favor. Supplication is the key to unlocking blessings that mere wishing can never attain. When you ask Allah, you acknowledge His sovereignty and His power to give, and you open the door to His mercy.

And remember: Allah is All-Knowing of everything. He knows precisely what is best for each of His servants, what they need, and what will benefit them in this life and the Hereafter. His distribution is never random or unjust—it is rooted in perfect knowledge and wisdom. So trust in His decree, be content with what He has given you, and turn your hopes toward Him in prayer. For in His hands are the treasures of all things, and He grants His bounty to whom He wills, out of His infinite generosity and love.

📜 Verse 30-34 — An-Nisa

30وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ عُدْوَانًا وَظُلْمًا فَسَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِ نَارًا ۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرًا

And whoever does that in aggression and injustice - then We will drive him into a Fire. And that, for Allah, is [always] easy.

31إِن تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبَائِرَ مَا تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنكُمْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ وَنُدْخِلْكُم مُّدْخَلًا كَرِيمًا

If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise].

32وَلَا تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۚ لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبُوا ۖ وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيبٌ مِّمَّا اكْتَسَبْنَ ۚ وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِن فَضْلِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا

33وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ عَقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ فَآتُوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدًا

And for all, We have made heirs to what is left by parents and relatives. And to those whom your oaths have bound [to you] - give them their share. Indeed Allah is ever, over all things, a Witness.

34الرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ وَبِمَا أَنفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ ۚ فَالصَّالِحَاتُ قَانِتَاتٌ حَافِظَاتٌ لِّلْغَيْبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ اللَّهُ ۚ وَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ ۖ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيًّا كَبِيرًا

Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
