Surah Ibrahim ayat 34 Tafsir Quran 14:34

﴿وَآتَاكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا ۗ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَظَلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ﴾
[ إبراهيم: 34]

14:34 And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor of Allah, you could not enumerate them. Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful.

And He gives you of all that you ask of Him according to your individual best interests. And if you were to enumerate God’s graces meaning His bestowal of graces you could never number it you would not be able to count it. Lo! man the disbelieving man is verily a wrong-doer and unthankful! ever wronging his own soul through acts of disobedience and ungratefulness towards God’s grace.

And He made all grace abound in you; He gave you of everything you asked for, and if you were to compute the divine favours you wear, you shall find them out of all count; but man is indeed wrong-headed, displaying no gratitude

Describing Some of Allah's Tremendous Favors Allah mentions some of the favors He has done for His creatures, such as creating the heavens as a protective ceiling and the earth as a bed.
He also sends down rain from the sky and, in its aftermath brings forth a variety of vegetation, fruits and plants of different colors, shapes, tastes, scents and uses.
Allah also made the ships sail on the surface of the water by His command and He made the sea able to carry these ships in order that travelers can transfer from one area to another to transport goods.
Allah also created the rivers that flow through the earth from one area to another as provision for the servants which they use to drink and irrigate, and for other benefits, وَسَخَّر لَكُمُ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ دَآئِبَينَ ( And He has made the sun and the moon, both constantly pursuing their courses ), rotating by night and by day, لاَ الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تدْرِكَ القَمَرَ وَلاَ الَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ ( It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day.
They all float, each in an orbit. )36:40 and, يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالاٌّمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَـلَمِينَ ( He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created ) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His command.
His is the creation and commandment.
Blessed is Allah, the Lord of all that exists!) 7:54 The sun and the moon rotate in succession, and the night and the day are opposites, each taking from the length of the other or giving up some of its length, يُولِجُ الَّيْلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى الَّيْلِ ( (Allah ) merges the night into day, and merges the day into night.) 35:13 and, وَسَخَّـرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُـلٌّ يَجْرِى لاًّجَـلٍ مُّسَـمًّى أَلا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّارُ ( And He has subjected the sun and the moon.
Each running (on a fixed course ) for an appointed term.
Verily, He is the Almighty, the Oft-Forgiving.) 39:5 Allah said next, وَآتَاكُم مِّن كُلِّ مَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُ ( And He gave you of all that you asked for ), He has prepared for you all that you need in all conditions, and what you ask Him to provide for you, وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لاَ تُحْصُوهَا ( and if you try to count the blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them. ) Allah states that the servants are never able to count His blessings, let alone thank Him duly for them.
In Sahih Al-Bukhari it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to supplicate;
«اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ مَكْفِيَ وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبَّنَا»
( O Allah ! All praise is due to You, without being able to sufficiently thank You, nor ever wish to be cutoff from You, nor ever feeling rich from relying on You; our Lord! ) It was reported that Prophet Dawud, peace be upon him, used to say in his supplication, "O Lord! How can I ever duly thank You, when my thanking You is also a favor from You to me" Allah the Exalted answered him, "Now, you have thanked Me sufficiently, O Dawud," meaning, `when you admitted that you will never be able to duly thank Me.'

(14:34) It is He Who fulfilled all your requirements ; *45 so much so that you cannot count His bounties, if you tried to number them. The fact is that man is very unjust and ungrateful.

And He gave you from all you meaning

*45) " He fulfilled all your requirements " : He has provided for everything that is required for your life, its development and evolution.

( And He giveth you of all ye ask of Him ) as well as that which you do not know even how to ask for, ( and if ye would count the bounty of Allah ) the blessings of Allah ( ye cannot reckon it ) you would not be able to remember them or give thanks for them. ( Lo! Man ) i.e. the disbeliever ( is verily a wrong-doer ) he associates others with Allah, ( an ingrate ) He disbelieves in Allah and in His blessings.

And He gave you of all that you asked for, and if you count the Blessings of Allah, never will you be able to count them. Verily! Man is indeed an extreme wrong-doer, - a disbeliever (an extreme ingrate, denies Allah's Blessings by disbelief, and by worshipping others besides Allah, and by disobeying Allah and His Prophet Muhammad SAW).
