34 Preface وَآتاكُم مِن كُلِّ ما سَأَلتُموهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدّوا نِعمَتَ اللَّهِ لا تُحصوها ۗ إِنَّ الإِنسانَ لَظَلومٌ كَفّارٌYusuf AliAnd He giveth you of all that ye ask for.1 But if ye count the favours of God, never will ye be able to number them. Verily, man is given up to injustice and ingratitude.2Sincere and true prayer in faith is answered by God. Thus He gives us everything which a wise and benevolent Providence can give.I have tried to render the intensive forms of the Arabic by what I consider their near equivalent here: the phrase “given up to injustice and ingratitude” suggests habitual ignorance of just values and ingratitude for the innumerable gifts and favours which God has showered on mankind.
