Surah Al Isra ayat 84 Tafsir Quran 17:84

﴿قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَىٰ شَاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ أَهْدَىٰ سَبِيلًا﴾
[ الإسراء: 84]

17:84 Say, "Each works according to his manner, but your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided in way."

Say ‘Everyone including us and you acts according to his own character his own manner of conduct and your Lord knows best who is better guided as to the way’ as to the path he follows and He will reward him accordingly.

Say to them: Every one acts according to his inherent and innate disposition or character, and Allah, your Creator, knows quite well who exercises his will to the best to accept Allahs Authority, espouse His cause and keep in His path

Turning away from Allah at Times of Ease and despairing at Times of Calamity Allah tells us about the weakness that is inherent in man, except for those whom He protects at both times of ease and calamity.
If Allah blesses a man with wealth, good health, ease, provision and help, and he gets what he wants, he turns away from the obedience and worship of Allah, and becomes arrogant.
Mujahid said, "( It means ) he goes away from Us." I say, this is like the Ayah: فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَن لَّمْ يَدْعُنَآ إِلَى ضُرٍّ مَّسَّهُ ( But when We have removed his harm from him, he passes on as if he had never invoked Us for a harm that touched him! ) 10:12 and; فَلَمَّا نَجَّـكُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ أَعْرَضْتُمْ ( But when He brings you safe to land, you turn away. ) When man is stricken with evil, which means disasters, accidents and calamities, كَانَ يَئُوساً ( he is in great despair. ), meaning that he thinks he will never have anything good again.
As Allah says, وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَا الإِنْسَـنَ مِنَّا رَحْمَةً ثُمَّ نَزَعْنَاهَا مِنْهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَئُوسٌ كَفُورٌ - وَلَئِنْ أَذَقْنَاهُ نَعْمَآءَ بَعْدَ ضَرَّآءَ مَسَّتْهُ لَيَقُولَنَّ ذَهَبَ السَّيِّئَاتُ عَنِّي إِنَّهُ لَفَرِحٌ فَخُورٌ - إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَاتِ أُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ ( And if We give man a taste of mercy from Us, and remove it from him, verily, He is despairing, ungrateful.
But if We let him taste good after evil has touched him, he is sure to say: "Ills have departed from me." Surely, he is exultant, and boastful.
Except those who show patience and do righteous good deeds: those, theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward. ) ( 11:9-11 ) قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَى شَاكِلَتِهِ ( Say: "Each one does according to Shakilatihi..." ) Ibn `Abbas said, "According to his inclinations." Mujahid said, "According to his inclinations and his nature." Qatadah said, "According to his intentions." Ibn Zayd said, "According to his religion." All these suggestions are close in meaning.
This Ayah - and Allah knows best - is a threat and a warning to the idolators, like the Ayah: وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ اعْمَلُواْ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ ( And say to those who do not believe: "Act according to your ability and way" ) ( 11:121 ) So Allah says: قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَى شَاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ أَهْدَى سَبِيلاً ( Say: "Each one does according to Shakilatihi, and your Lord knows best of him whose path is right." ) meaning either us or you.
Everyone will be rewarded in accordance with his deeds, for nothing whatsoever is hidden from Allah.

Everyone will be rewarded in accordance with his deeds, for nothing whatsoever is hidden from Allah.

( Say ) O Muhammad: ( Each one ) of you ( doth according to his rule of conduct ) according to his intention and the state in which he is in; it is also said that this means: according to his standpoint and natural disposition, ( and thy Lord is best aware of him whose way is right ) whose religion is correct.

Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind): "Each one does according to Shakilatihi (i.e. his way or his religion or his intentions, etc.), and your Lord knows best of him whose path (religion, etc.) is right."
