Surah Anam ayat 44 Tafsir Quran 6:44

﴿فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ﴾
[ الأنعام: 44]

6:44 So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair.

So when they forgot when they neglected that whereof they were reminded that with which they were admonished and threatened in the way of misery and hardship; and they did not heed the admonition We opened read fatahnā or fattahnā to them the gates of all things in the way of graces in order to draw them on by degrees until when they rejoiced in what they were given a wanton rejoicing We seized them suddenly with chastisement and lo! they were confounded despairing of anything good.

And when they became wilfully unmindful of all that We had imparted to them of knowledge and of the misfortunes they suffered, We opened, for them all the great channels of prosperity until their appetite and desire were gratified and they rejoiced beyond a common joy. There and then We suddenly seized them and dressed them with ruin and there, they simply gave up hope and nursed despair

The Idolators Call On Allah Alone During Torment and Distress Allah states that He does what He wills with His creatures and none can resist His decision or avert what He decrees for them.
He is the One Who has no partners, Who accepts the supplication from whomever He wills.
Allah said, قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُكُم إِنْ أَتَـكُمْ عَذَابُ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَتَتْكُمْ السَّاعَةُ أَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَدْعُونَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـدِقِينَ ( Say: "Tell me if Allah's torment comes upon you, or the Hour comes upon you, would you then call upon any one other than Allah (Reply ) if you are truthful!") This means, you -- disbelievers -- will not call other than Allah in this case, because you know that none except He is able to remove the affliction.
Allah said, إِن كُنتُمْ صَـدِقِينَ ( if you are truthful ) by taking gods besides Him. بَلْ إِيَّـهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِنْ شَآءَ وَتَنسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ ( Nay! To Him alone you call, and, if He willed, He would remove that (distress ) for which you call upon Him, and you forget at that time whatever partners you joined with Him ( in worship )!) for in times of necessity, you only call on Allah and forget your idols and false deities.
In another Ayah, Allah said; وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الْضُّرُّ فِى الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدْعُونَ إِلاَ إِيَّاهُ ( And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon besides Him vanish from you except Him (Allah )) 17:67.
Allah said; وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلنَآ إِلَى أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَـهُمْ بِالْبَأْسَآءِ ( Verily, We sent (Messengers ) to many nations before you.
And We seized them with extreme poverty...) That is, loss of wealth and diminished provisions, وَالضَّرَّآءِ ( and loss of health ) various illnesses, diseases and pain, لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ ( so that they might believe with humility ) and call Allah and supplicate to Him with humbleness and humility.
Allah said; فَلَوْلا إِذْ جَآءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُواْ ( When Our torment reached them, why then did they not believe with humility ) Meaning: Why do they not believe and humble themselves before Us when We test them with disaster' وَلَـكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ( But their hearts became hardened, ) for their hearts are not soft or humble, وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَـنُ مَا كَانُواّ يَعْمَلُونَ ( and Shaytan made fair-seeming to them that which they used to do.
) That is, Shirk, defiance and rebellion. فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِ ( So, when they forgot (the warning ) with which they had been reminded,) by ignoring and turning away from it, فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ ( We opened to them the gates of everything, ) Meaning: `We opened the gates of provisions for them from wherever they wished, so that We deceive them.' We seek refuge with Allah from such an end.
This is why Allah said, حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُواْ بِمَآ أُوتُواْ f( until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, ) such as wealth, children and provisions, أَخَذْنَـهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُّبْلِسُونَ ( all of a sudden, We took them to punishment and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows. ) They have no hope for any type of good thing.
Al-Hasan Al-Basri said, "Whomever Allah gives provision and he thinks that Allah is not testing him, has no wisdom.
Whomever has little provision and thinks that Allah will not look at ( provide for ) him, has no wisdom." He then recited the Ayah, فَلَمَّا نَسُواْ مَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُواْ بِمَآ أُوتُواْ أَخَذْنَـهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُّبْلِسُونَ ( So, when they forgot (the warning ) with which they had been reminded, We opened to them the gates of every ( pleasant ) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows.) He added, "By the Lord of the Ka`bah! Allah deceived these people, when He gave them what they wished, and then they were punished." Ibn Abi Hatim recorded this statement.
