Sura 39
Aya 49
49
فَإِذا مَسَّ الإِنسانَ ضُرٌّ دَعانا ثُمَّ إِذا خَوَّلناهُ نِعمَةً مِنّا قالَ إِنَّما أوتيتُهُ عَلىٰ عِلمٍ ۚ بَل هِيَ فِتنَةٌ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَهُم لا يَعلَمونَ

Ahmed Ali

When a man is in trouble, he prays to God; but when We bestow a favour on him he says: “It has come to me through my acumen.” In fact, this is an illusion, but most men do not know.
